A Sacred Guide for Navratri & Shree Sukt Sadhaks
🌼 Introduction
During the sacred days of Navratri, the mind naturally turns inward, seeking purity, devotion, and Divine grace. As a Shree Sukt Sadhak, this is the most powerful time to awaken your inner divinity, purify your thoughts, strengthen your willpower, and walk closer toward the journey from Nar (ordinary human) to Narayana (divine consciousness).
In his discourse, Swami Ji beautifully explains why fasting, breath awareness, pure thoughts, conscious action, and devotion to Maa Bhagawati form the true essence of Sadhana.
🌸 1. The True Meaning of Fasting (Upvaas): Living with the Divine
Fasting is not merely about skipping food.
Swami Ji explains the spiritual meaning of Upvaas:
Up + Vaas = To live with the Highest Divinity
Fasting is successful only when:
You eat light and pure
You reduce cooked food
You increase raw food, fruits, nuts, water
You purify your mind, emotions, intentions
You practice mantra with every breath
Swami Ji reminds:
“Your thoughts, emotions, and breath are food for your mind and soul.”
If the mind generates negative thoughts during fasts, then the fast loses its spiritual value.
🌺 2. Fasting Means 24-Hour Awareness — Not Just Skipping Food
A real fast means:
No negative thoughts
No negative speech
No harmful actions
No anger, greed, jealousy
Every breath filled with mantra
Every exhalation releasing negativity
Swami Ji says:
“If you want your fast to be fruitful, fast with your thoughts, emotions, words, and actions—not just your stomach.”
🔥 3. Your Life is a Reflection of Your Choices
Swami Ji beautifully explains that life is created by one thing:
Your Thoughts → Your Actions → Your Habits → Your Character → Your Destiny
A thought repeated becomes a habit
A habit repeated becomes your nature
Your nature creates your entire life
Whether it is smoking, laziness, compassion, discipline, or devotion—everything begins from a thought you choose.
“Every moment, you choose whether Ram wins or Ravan wins inside you.”
🌼 4. The Inner Battle of Ram & Ravan
Swami Ji reveals a deep truth:
Ram = Compassion, discipline, purity, truth
Ravan = Greed, ego, anger, shortcuts, laziness
This battle is inside you every moment.
You choose the winner by your action:
A good thought + action → Ram wins
A bad thought + action → Ravan wins
Your destiny is shaped by your inner choices.
🌸 5. Breath: The Doorway to Consciousness
We breathe 26,000 times a day, and each breath has the power to:
Lift you
Destroy you
Heal you
Purify you
Transform you
Swami Ji explains that during meditation:
Inhalation = Life force (Prana)
Exhalation = Releasing past, negativity, karmic patterns
By becoming aware of breath, your consciousness turns inward.
This is the foundation of meditation.
🌟 6. Divine Awareness During Navratri
Navratri is the time to:
✔ Purify your inner world
✔ Become aware of thoughts
✔ Control emotions
✔ Perform Sadhana
✔ Strengthen willpower
✔ Invoke Maa Bhagwati in every breath
Swami Ji says:
“Choose Maa Bhagwati in every breath, and your life will shine with Her grace.”
💠 7. Your Breath Creates Your Destiny
Every breath contains:
A thought
A feeling
A choice
These choices either:
🌺 Invoke Divinity (Maa Bhagwati)
or
🔥 Strengthen Negativity (internal demons)
If a negative thought arises but you do not act, you weaken the demon.
If a good thought arises and you act on it, you strengthen the Divine.
🌸 8. Devotion in Every Thought: The Essence of Sadhana
The scriptures say the Divine is in each breath.
Swami Ji explains:
“If in every breath you choose Maa Bhagwati, She awakens within you.”
This transforms:
Your aura
Your energy
Your destiny
Your habits
Your relationships
And slowly, you move from Nar to Narayana.
🔱 9. Karma Yoga: Turning Every Action Into Divine Action
Everything becomes sacred when done with devotion:
Cooking becomes prasad preparation
Working becomes sacred duty
Study becomes discipline of the soul
Meditation becomes union with God
When breath + action + emotion unite →
Karma becomes Karma Yoga
🌺 10. The Power of Charity (Daan) – The Shortcut to Prosperity
Swami Ji explains the three states:
Pashu Bhaav — Taking from others, living through greed
Manushya Bhaav — Earning by effort
Deva Bhaav — Sharing what you have with others
When you give:
Food
Clothes
Money
Help
Compassion
Nature rewards you with:
Prosperity
Stability
Success
Protection
Respect
Because Nature responds to your inner emotion, not quantity.
🌼 11. Activate the Third Eye (Pineal Gland)
Swami Ji guides a sacred meditation to activate the pineal gland:
Bring all prana to the third eye
Visualize light
Feel the energy rising
Invoke Divine presence
Connect breath with intention
The pineal gland activates spiritual clarity, intuition, and inner guidance.
🌸 12. Choosing the Divine in Every Breath
The real Sadhana is not one hour of meditation.
The real Sadhana is:
Every breath
Every action
Every thought
Every emotion
Every intention
Swami Ji says:
“If you choose the Divine in every breath, the Divine transforms your entire life.”
🌺 Conclusion: Walk the Path of Divine Awareness

Observe your thoughts
Control your breath
Purify your intentions
Perform Sadhana daily
Choose Maa Bhagwati in every breath

Silence negative impulses
Serve others with love
