Embodiments of Love! Vijaya Dasami marks the conclusion (samapti) of the sacred Navaratri festival. Samapti confers prapti (deservedness) in every possible way. Today I bless you with the deservedness to develop selfless love. Love contains all the other human values like truth, right conduct, non-violence and peace. Whatever you do, do it with Love. Your heart is like a big tank, and senses are like taps. Fill your heart with the water of Love. Then you will experience Divine Love through all your senses. Undertake good actions from this moment. Let everybody be happy. The essence of all scriptures is: “Help ever, Hurt never.” Do not hurt even an insect, for God is present in every being. Surrender to the Lord and say, “I am Yours,” and live up to it with strong faith. God will protect you at all times and under all circumstances. I bless you to have noble feelings, join good company, give-up vices and attain Divinity.
