Shri Adi Shakti and Mother Earth

Today we are going to do the Puja of Adi Shakti. It is a difficult subject, to talk about Adi Shakti, because it is not easy to understand that Adi Shakti is the power of Sadashiva. Sadashiva is the God Almighty, She is His breath,as some people call it, some say She is the desire and some say that She is the entirepower of Sadashiva and Sadashiva cannot do anything without Her powers.






This subject has been described by many people in various books in different ways. But actually weneed not go to the background of the creation of Adi Shakti, for that at least you needseven lectures. But we’ll come to the point where Adi Shakti started working on thisMother Earth.






The first thing is, we must know, that She created a Kundalini in theMother Earth itself and She created Shri Ganesha out of the Mother Earth. It is veryinteresting. So the Mother Earth becomes a very important thing for us. If you do notknow how to respect the Mother Earth, we do not know how to respect ourselves.




The expression of Adi Shakti within you is the Kundalini, no doubt. That is the reflection ofAdi Shakti in you. But the reflection in the Mother Earth is also expressed, as you allknow, in different places, different countries, different cities, as the manifestation ofchakras and Adi Shakti’s creations. It was very important first to create a very HolyMother Earth for human beings to be born on there.





So the reflection of the Adi Shakti, as Kundalini first, was on the Mother Earth. Kundaliniis a, we should say is a wee part of the Adi Shakti or we can say that She is the desire,pure desire, of the Adi Shakti. So Adi Shakti is the desire, complete desire of Sadashiva;and Kundalini, Adi Kundalini is the desire, complete desire of Adi Shakti. Now this onewas first expressed in the Mother Earth, inside the Mother Earth. Inside the Mother Earththe Kundalini came up in such a way that it cooled down the inner part of the MotherEarth as much as it could, and then it manifested on the surface of the earth as differentchakras.






So it’s tremendous similarity that we have with Virata, the Mother Earth and thehuman beings. If all of them are being reflected by the Adi Kundalini, so, there has to be agreat connection between them. It is not understood by human beings how they areconnected to this Mother Earth. This Kundalini passed through different centers, creatingdifferent centers in the Mother Earth and ultimately broke through Kailasha. And I don’tknow how many have you been to Kailasha? You will see tremendous vibrations flowing outof Kailasha.




Now the way we insult our Mother Earth, what we are doing is we are insulting the Adi Shakti. So many ways there are, we should respect the Mother Earth. I mean it was an Indian custom to begin with, when you got up from your bed and you touched the Mother Earth with your feet you have to say, “Oh! Mother Earth please forgive me because I am touching you with my feet.” All the movements of Mother Earth are controlled by this inner Kundalini which is the reflection of Adi Shakti. The gravity that it has also is the manifestation of the Kundalini of the Mother Earth.




Now, why we are suffering in this beautiful planet because we do not respect what we have to respect the most. Mother Earth is to be respected. Meaning what? Meaning that whatever is created on this earth, by the movement of the earth, by the sea, by all the elements, has to be respected. Today’s problem is pollution, all kinds of thing people talk of, the reason behind it, people never understood the importance of all these five elements which are supportive of our life.
