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

width="150">" 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."<br>
<br>
"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 <a

" 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." <br>
<br>
"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 <a
