“Devi Bhagavat Katha”by Sri Swami Adhyatmanandji at Bhavnagar (March 29, 2006 to April 5, 2006)
Sri Ramdas Ashram and Gujarat Divya Jivan Sangh, Bhavnagar organized a Devi Bhagavat Katha during Vasant Navratri. Pujya Swami Adhyatmanandaji Maharaj gave a series of discourses on Devi Mahatmaya and enlightened the devotees.
Swamiji beautifully summarized the Devi Bhagavat. Devi represents energy (shakti). There are two distinct fields, the outer being of matter and usually science deals with it. It is also objective field where we could utilize the progress made by other individuals over the course of history. In short, we do not have to reinvent the wheels. We can use computers, cars, planes and all other inventions made by others and utilize them to achieve whatever we want to in the outer world. We have made a lot of progress in this field in terms of making scientific inventions and innovations and made our life comfortable. The inner field is made up of mind and consciousness. This is subjective field. We have made very little progress in this field. Here one has to deal with his or her own mind, recognize and weed out all impurities in terms of wrong identifications, cravings, desires, lust, greed, hatred, etc. and reach the deep recesses of the heart. Our scripture describes various practices, disciplines in terms of meditation, spiritual practices (sadhana) and other guidelines. Other peoples’ progress has very little help to individual in this inward journey whose ultimate goal is the self-realization. This requires tons of discipline and energy (power) because mind is naturally outwardly projected. Devi Bhagavat deals with the worship to this powerhouse to seek the energy and grace needed for this noble endeavor that is really the ultimate goal of life.
To dive deep in the recess of the heart, and to find the pearls of absolute is the whole essence of holy Sri Devi Bhagavat. Devi is Shaft or power. We need inner power, inner strength, inner awakening contemplating upon the pure self – the mother energy the “DURGA”. Nothing is impossible, which leads every individual one to pure conduct and absolute realization.
