So, it was confirmed today that Navarathri
started on Monday.
Many of you thought that the priests can’t make a mistake, but
here you have
it, a mistake was made. Most of you think I am talking utter
rubbish but the
priests in Sri Lanka started Navarathri on Monday, and this was
confirmed
today. We have deprived the Mother of one day because our fool
priests have
given us the wrong date. On Tuesday they said that we should have
started the
day before. That is too late. So, how are we going to fix this?
On Saturday between 6:30 and 7:30am we must do a
Kali pooja. The
only destructive factor that will come is Kali. I’m telling you
because you are
close to my heart and I don’t want you to be affected by not doing
the full 9
days.
Now, I've found that all of you are like zombies
here. You
don’t know what is happening! Today you saw them dancing with
the Durga murthi,
with all her weapons. Just assume the knife fell off and hit
somebody on the
head… dangerous! You are the very people who will say the Guru
did something
wrong because throwing blame is your profession. You will always
point. That is
not acceptable – we can’t take the Durga Mata and rock her so much
without
being aware. You can walk here, kick this chair and break your
toe, it will be
very painful but if you are over 60, it won’t heal. You will live
with that
pain until you die. The same goes for the brass. If anything fell
from there
and hit your head, it will knock you unconscious! Just imagine,
then you will
blame God! We are not even
lackadaisical
– we are just zombies!
We are not allowed to do this on the
journey. Because of
this, every other day I have to shout at you. Today is not the first
day we have taken
the instruments off Durga, we do it all the time. And then if
something
happens, I have to sit and worry about it, not you. These are the
things that
worry me: somebody will get hurt! We don’t know how half the
things are done.
Inside me I feel so much disappointment that we are not awake. Not
aware.
Anyway that’s finished now. On Saturday, no nonsense! The chariot
will leave here
at 13:30. This is the time given to me by the rishis - not ten
minutes later.
Anytime later we will be caught, so we should rather leave on time.
Don’t say you
didn’t get a warning! At 10am
will be the Janda and Swasti prayer for the flags that will go on the chariot.
Om
