Dear Family,
Jai Shri Mataji!
HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi – Diwali Puja Italy 1987
Wishing you all a Happy Dhanteras!
We pray to The Great Shri Adi Shakti, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, in Her Divine form of Shri MahaLakshmi on this most auspicious of days!!
“According to all religious scriptures, all of us with all our families pray for well-being, for spiritual well-being, for victory, fearlessness, longevity, health, wealth, for the nullification of all baddhas of the Sahaj Yogis, to become the master of eight siddhis, to give peace to all who walk on two legs and on four. We pray for health, satisfaction and for all auspiciousness for all those who are handicapped, for the emancipation of all people, to give them the highest knowledge and whatever is my power, whatever is my knowledge, whatever offering I could get through meditation, or by whatever means of sixteen types, I surrender in the Puja.”
“Did you follow that? This is the Sankalpa. This is the determination; it’s the holy determination you are making. ”
H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, 9 November 1980 Diwali Puja, Hampstead (London), The Mahalakshmi Power.
We praise Her again and again.

“So today’s day is, as I told you, the thirteenth day is the Goddess, Dhanteras it is called, is the day of the Gruha Lakshmi; She came as Gruha Lakshmi.”
Diwali Puja, Wealth & Generosity, Nirmala Palace – Nightingale Lane Ashram London, 14th November 1982
“So today’s day is, as I told you, the thirteenth day is the Goddess, Dhanteras it is called, is the day of the Gruha Lakshmi; She came as Gruha Lakshmi. In the household, the lady is the one who is the symbol of that Lakshmi, to begin with. Because she’s the one who looks after your food, looks after your comfort, she protects you, she nourishes you, she gives you joy. And the women who cannot do that are not Gruha Lakshmi’s, they are not the…’housewife’ is a very poor word for that. They are the Gruha Lakshmis; means they are the goddesses of the family.
…
But this is how it is; these are the five days they are celebrating; short I’ve told you, how we Sahaja yogis should understand, these five days are days of real festival for us because we have overcome death, we have overcome that degradation that would have fallen out. Now we are people who are told this is to celebrate our victory over evil, our victory over our weaknesses, and our victory towards the goal of our achievements: that is full Self-realization. And that’s how it’s the great day of celebration, and may God bless you all.
…
And in this jubilation I join you all, and I’m very happy that we are so many today in this country, and a day will come when our righteousness and our greatness will definitely enhance the path of darkness with this light, and improve the conditions, to such an extent that people won’t believe that they were living in this wretched world, and today they are in such a beautiful world, they won’t believe. It will happen; as it has happened within yourself it will happen without. And that’s what is the day I am waiting for, when such things will happen. And all these things we are doing here; living a righteous and good life now, with forgiveness for others and with all the generosity. It will became a universal thing for people, and when it will become a universal happening, and when people will universally accept Sahaja yoga, then will be the real day of Diwali celebration. May God bless you.
…
So, you see, today’s Puja is more sort of asking for the expansion of your Sushumna; more that. So as it is, when we are doing this Puja, first of all you must develop a mood of forgiving others, and forgiving yourself also; just that mood, first of all, to improve your Sushumna further to grow, first of all.So there’s a mantra for that, “Ya Devi Sarvabhuteshu kshama rupena samsthitah.” All right? And, “Shanti ripen samstitah.”
All these mantras, if you say, all of you, if you say these mantras – one you can say and they can repeat you – and then that will definitely improve. These are all mantras for the Sushumna.”
