聖母節的九個夜 The Nine Nights of Navaratri
#070 1996/10/9 印度 孟買
納瓦拉翠(Navaratri─聖母節)是指九個夜再加上新夜的意思。創造發生於黑暗之中，在母親的子宮裡，在泥土裡的幽深之處。子宮裡的九個月就像靈魂穿上人形之外衣所經歷的九個漫長的夜晚。
夜晚提供了休息與新活力。每到夜晚時分，整個創造界進入沈睡，也包括了那看守靜心所的守夜人。當夜晚降臨的時刻，人們離開工作回到了家，慶祝、歡笑並且祈禱。
聖母節的九個夜是十分珍貴的，因為它們具有精微的能量；精微面得到滋潤充實。精微的創造界由來自聖母(Mother Divine)的六十四道脈流所掌管，這些脈流負責了所有塵世間與靈性上的回復更生。它們純粹是人們覺醒意識的一部分。慶祝這九個夜的目的在重新點燃那些神性的脈流，並喚醒我們生命的內在深度。
淨化你的身體，並淨化你的靈魂。
以水滌淨你的身體，以知識、調息和淨化呼吸法洗滌你的靈魂。
070 NAVRATRI
Weekly Knowledge #70 Mumbai 09 Oct 1996 India
Navratri means the nine nights and the new night. Creation happens in the darkness. In the womb of the mother and underneath the soil. Nine months in the womb are like nine long nights where the spirit takes human form.
Night provides rest and rejuvenation. At night the entire creation goes to sleep including the ashram night watchman. (Laughter) People working come home at night and they really celebrate, rejoice and pray. Nine nights are precious as they have subtle energy. The subtle is enriched.
There are 64 divine mother impulses which govern the subtle creation. These are responsible for restoring all earthly and spiritual benefits. They are simply part of one's awakened consciousness. These nine nights are celebrated to rekindle those divine impulses and celebrate the innermost depth of our lives.
Jai Guru Dev
Cleanse your body and cleanse your soul. Cleanse your body with water and your soul with knowledge and your spirit with pranayam and kriya. There is no penance higher than Pranayam. It is the greatest penance.

NEWS FLASH
German Ashram had an intense Teachers Training Course. Guruji went up to Minsk and Belarus, where people had come from as far as Siberia. As many people met Guruji for the first time, it was like a dream come true for them. Virtually everybody had a miraculous experience to tell. One family had spent 7 months salary to come to meet Guruji. Another family sold their house to meet Gurudev. Over 1000 people filled the stadium and the auditorium looked splendid and all the teachers had worked hard to make the stadium look splendid and magnificent. People from Lithuania, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Minsk, and many other towns had gathered in a very festive mood. Russian television covered Guruji's arrival in Mumbai. There was a grand reception for Guruji. When he sat on his seat, all the flowers over him seemed to reach out for his Darshan. It seemed as if there was a waterfall of flowers and Guruji was smiling in the center. In the evening, Guruji was presented with two flowers, with which he played around for hours and kept posing for photographs. The conversation was diverted to the lotus flowers.
Jai Guru Dev
