Sathya Sai Baba

Navaratri means nine nights. Darkness is associated with night. What is this darkness in a human being? It is the darkness of ignorance. The purpose of the Navaratri celebrations is to enable you to get rid of darkness. When a reference is made to Devi, it signifies the unified form of Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswathi. These three Goddesses together represent energy or Shakti. Shakti is the energy that represents Nature (Prakruti). Nature is made up of the three qualities, Satwa, Rajas and Tamas. Saraswathi represents Satwa guna (purity). Lakshmi represents Rajo Guna (energy and activity) and Durga represents Thamo Guna (dullness or inertia). As Nature is made up of these three qualities (Rajas, Tamas and Satwa), to gain control over one’s inner Nature, people worship Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswathi as they represent these three qualities. To secure the grace of Goddess Shakthi, you must have triple purity - purity of the heart, purity in speech and purity in action.

- Divine Discourse, Sep 27, 1992.

God is love. God is strength. God is peace. - Baba
