- “Sweet Mother, has that Chaldean legend [1] which you have written any relation with Kali Puja?
(Mother:) Yes, my child, because on Kali Puja day I always distribute the flowers of ‘Divine’s Love’; for Kali is the most loving of all the aspects of the Mahashakti; hers is the most active and most powerful Love. And that is why every year I distribute the petals of ‘Divine’s Love’ on Kali’s Day. And so naturally this explanation of why these flowers were chosen to express the Divine’s Love — it is a sufficient explanation.”[2]
(Mother:) “Yesterday morning I distributed petals of ‘Divine Love’. The previous night was, here, the darkest of the year and in India it is a great festival. Its true significance is that the Divine’s Love is at the base and core of all manifestation, even where it seems most completely inconscient.”[3]
