Up until now, I did not have the Shakti because I did not accept the power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The power is the feminine. Shakti in Sanskrit means energy, and also the feminine. The feminine gives you energy, gives you the material things that most people need to have or require to have or must have to have, and that is why everybody is after matter or material things. And who gives that? Who gives you the material things that give you energy? The feminine, the divine feminine.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Receiving the Goddess\u2019s Energy for Prosperity and Enlightenment<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And this session is more meaningful to me than to anybody else. But I want to give that message to you and pass that message to you to receive the energy, to receive Shakti, so that you will have material prosperity, energy, and also enlightenment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This Navaratri night, the Nine Nights of the Goddess, I will teach about the feminine. The feminine is also the beauty, and beauty is truth. And &#8220;truth beauty&#8221; is a very meaningful, powerful statement by John Keats.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Beauty and Truth: The Grace of the Goddess<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beauty is inseparable from truth. Anyone who is beautiful has power, and the beauty is not simply physical beauty, it is also the physical beauty, but most importantly, the inner beauty, the inner power, the inner energy. And we can get it very easily through the grace of the Goddess. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m doing this program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just meditate on the body of the goddess, on her form; unless you see her, you cannot have Shakti, and you will see her, provided you know how to see her. And that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m going to teach.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The First Verse of the Soundarya Lahari Revealed\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My guru showed her on the very day that he gave me the initiation into the Goddess. And there was so much energy that it scared me, but then I came into harmony with that tremendous amount of power. It is a power transmission program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><b>Shivah Shaktya yukto yadi bhavati Shaktah prabhavitum<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b> Na chedevam devo na khalu kushalah spanditumapi<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b> Atah tvam aradhyam Hari-Hara-Virinchadibhir api<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b> Pranantum stotum vaa katham akrita-punyah prabhavati<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the first verse of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soundarya Lahari<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the goddess of beauty and bliss. And Shiva has no power, no Shakti, without her, he can&#8217;t even move. And that is the Divine Mother, the divine feminine. And she is real.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Reality of the Goddess<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There was only one person whom I had heard of. I have never seen him. His name is Kaleshwar Baba. He only had the ability to show the goddess to maybe 50 or 60 people, or less, maybe more than 30, 40, and I&#8217;ve spoken to those people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So the Goddess is real, and the program is going to be just an initiation, where I will transfer the Shakti within me to everyone, so that everyone should have beauty, bliss, and enlightenment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Beyond Enlightenment: The Role of the Goddess<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the ultimate teaching, even for those who reach enlightenment. When we become enlightened, we still may fall into an emptiness, and that may lead that person to divine depression. The only way you can bypass that and avoid that emptiness is to get involved in the beauty of the goddess of her form, and that eventually will become your form as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the beauty is wealth, and the beauty is bliss, and the beauty is enlightenment. And that is the goddess, the goddess Lalita, Goddess Parvati. She&#8217;s infinitely beautiful, infinitely gracious. And I&#8217;m very grateful to her for all that I have acquired while I&#8217;m still embodied.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Navaratri and Satya Yuga Initiation into the Goddess<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So that is going to be the program; I will teach you how to see her, feel her, touch her, and become her. And it is a great opportunity, because Navaratri comes every year. But this Navaratri is the Satya Yuga Navaratri, so I invite you to participate in this program, and I will give you mantras to invoke her to get spiritual powers, Siddhi Powers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All the Siddhi Powers are in her control. Beauty is under her control. Enlightenment is under her control.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Goddess as the Highest Intelligence<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No one can ever reach Shiva, the ultimate enlightenment, without the Goddess. The Goddess is called the highest intelligence, also. So I want to transmit what power I have gathered to all of you who will come and participate and learn these techniques and experience what it is to be enlightened.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now pull your energy from your eyes inside, and with your third eye, you look at my form:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><b>Shivah Shaktya yukto yadi bhavati Shaktah prabhavitum<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b> Na chedevam devo na khalu kushalah spanditumapi<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b> Atah tvam aradhyam Hari-Hara-Virinchadibhir api<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b> Pranantum stotum vaa katham akrita-punyah prabhavati<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glory to the Goddess of beauty, power, and enlightenment.
