"The Worship of the Divine Mother" on the occasion of Adi Shaktipeeth,  
Sri Asthalaxmi Brahmotsav (April 29, 2014 )

" Devi is synonymous with Sakti or the Divine Power that manifests, 
sustains and transforms the universe as the one unifying force of 
Existence. In fact, worship of Devi is not sectarian; it does not belong 
to any cult. By Devi or Sakti we mean the presupposition of all forms of 
existential power, the power of knowledge, of omniscience. These powers 
are the glorious attributes of God---you may call Him Vishnu or Siva or 
as you like. In other words, Sakti is the very possibility of the 
Absolute's appearing as many, of God's causing this universe. Sakti and 
Sakta are one; the Power and the one who possesses the Power cannot be 
separated; God and Sakti are like fire and heat of fire."

"Devi-worship or Sakti-worship is therefore worship of God's glory, of 
God's greatness and supremacy. It is adoration of the Almighty"  - Swami 
Sivananda << More>> <http://divyajivan.org/ashtalakshmi/index.htm>

Join us in Brahmotsav of Sri Sri Ashtalaxmi Bahvan & Sri Chidananda

Early Morning Meditation Talk from "Ponder These Truths" of Swami 
Chidananada

The immanence of God
" It is that immanence is key to divinity. Awareness of God's presence 
within and without, in all beings, in all creatures, in all nature 
becomes the key, the secret of living in the awareness of the Yoga of 
the eleventh chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, the Yoga of the first verse 
of the Isopanishad."

"What more can I say? Be aware, be aware of God, aware of your 
relationship to Him, and make your life sublime and divine and attain 
the supreme, grand goal of all spiritual aspiration, of all spiritual 
life, of all spiritual sadhana, of all spiritual living, the grand goal 
of God-consciousness and divine perfection and liberation."- Swami 
Chidananda << More>> <http://divyajivan.org/ponder_these_truths/index.htm>

Gitamrutam

   I am the Self, O Gudakesha, seated in the hearts of all beings! I am 
the beginning, the middle and also the end of all beings.( 10:20)

Having become the fire Vaisvanara, I abide in the body of living beings 
and, associated with the Prana and Apana, digest the fourfold food (15:14)

I am the sapidity in water, O Arjuna! I am the light in the moon and the 
sun; I am the syllable Om in all the Vedas, sound in ether, and virility 
in men.(7:8)

I am the sweet fragrance in earth and the brilliance in fire, the life 
in all beings; and I am austerity in ascetics

Know Me, O Arjuna, as the eternal seed of all beings; I am the 
intelligence of the intelligent; the splendour of the splendid objects 
am I!in men
