Only the veeras, the courageous, can worship the Mother. Diwali Puja, 1985,Tivoli, Rome .

...“only after Sahaja Yoga started, the real Diwali is taking shape. We had many beautiful lamps, and we had lot of oil to burn, but there was no spark, to enlighten the deepas. And the wick, as you call it – is called as bati in Hindi language- is like your Kundalini, so the Kundalini had to meet the spark. The beautiful lamps were all a waste, purposeless, pointless. And this is the great blessings in modern times, that so many lights are enlightened and we are having a Deepavali of human hearts.“.... H.H. Shri Mataji Diwali Puja Transcription:
