"Somebody asked me, “Is it necessary to have this puja?” I think if there's any puja that we should do, is this one, is Adi Shakti. It's very important that this puja must be performed because that is how you grow, this reflection improves and you grow more and more within yourself through the power of Adi Shakti or through the power of Kundalini. As you know that Adi Shakti has her own Kundalini which is the Adi Kundalini and the reflection of that within you is the Kundalini. So you have to worship and is the best way to please your own Kundalini, your own mother who has given you this birth."
H. H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, 9 June, Cabella, 1996
"Today we are worshipping Adi Shakti. I think this is the most important puja because it is the power of Adi Shakti that has given you Self Realisation, that has given you the truth that has given you the power of compassion and love. That's the power that separated from Sadashiva and this power wanted Herself to create this complete universe. Universes after universes, She's creating and loving. With Her love, She did this great creation, creation of this world also."
H. H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, 3 June, Cabella, 2001
