What is the purpose of celebrating Navaratri, and what is the outcome we should experience? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today.

Navaratri is the festival to commemorate the victory of God over Evil. The Embodiment of Divine Power (Para-shakti), in its various manifestations, as Maha-Saraswati (Satwik), as Maha-Lakshmi (Rajasik), as Maha-Kali (Tamasik) was able to overcome the forces of vice, wickedness and egoism, during the nine-day struggle and finally, on Vijaya Dasami, the valedictory worship is done. It's a festival of thanksgiving. Gratitude is Divine; Ingratitude is demonic. But, while offering homage of gratitude, you must also try to discover who was killed and who was saved and why. The six enemies of man are eating into his vitals, embedded in his own inner consciousness; they are the demons to be killed - lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride and jealousy. They reduce man to the level of a demon. They must be overpowered and transmuted, by the supreme alchemy of divine urge. Then, the nine nights of struggle will become new; it will become a new type of night, devoted to the purification of the mind, and the illumination of the soul!
