Shri Mataji: "My actual sign name is Lalita who is the name of the Primordial Mother."
"It was on June 23, 1994, the eve of the Guru Puja, that Kash meditated and confirmed that Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi's original name was Shri Lalita Devi! It is for this reason that the 1,000 esoteric names throughout Shri Adi Shakti: The Kingdom of God are taken from the Shri Lalita Sahasranama and attributed to Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, the incarnation of Shri Lalita Devi, the Great Goddess."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"Now the name Nirmala itself means immaculate; means the one who is
the cleansing power and the name of the Goddess also. My actual
sign name is Lalita who is the name of the Primordial Mother. That is
the name of the Primordial Mother."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
"I'm the Holy Ghost" (New York, 30.09.81)
(The DCB, vol.XV, issue 9&10, September-October, 2003)
"Shri Mataji, what was your original name?"
It must be emphasized that neither Kash, his brother Arwinder nor
sister Lalita have ever met the physical Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.
All their daily spiritual experiences with Her till today have been
within their Sahasraras. They narrate the Ultimate Reality of the
Sahasrara or Kingdom of God within all humans, where She resides as
the Adi Shakti. It has little to do with Her temporary, illusionary
human form as Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi who sooner or later will leave
Earth after having completed Her Mission to enlighten and emancipate
humanity.
It is extremely important to understand this Reality because it deals
entirely with the Spirit World absolutely devoid of any earthly
defect. Thus no comparison whatsoever should be made between the
Great Adi Shakti Shri Lalita Devi and Her earthly incarnation as Shri
Mataji Nirmala Devi.
Yet, they are both one and the same. The physical Shri Mataji on
Earth is the drop. The Spirit Shri Mataji in the Sahasrara is the
Ocean. The earthly Shri Nirmala Devi is the single leaf. The Formless
Shri Lalita Devi is the Divine Forest. The human Shri Mataji is the
Teacher without. The Divine Shri Lalita Devi is the Supreme Guide
within. The mortal Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi is the temporary external
mirage. The Immortal Shri Lalita Devi is the Eternal Inner Reality.
Another important point to remember is that the mystical experiences
of Kash, Arwinder and Lalita are shruti in nature. "Shruti in
Sanskrit means 'that which is heard'. This word, then, is meant to
connote, something that was directly heard from God, by the sages. In
other words, the Shruti stems from the inner, intuitional and
spiritual experience of the ancient seers through years of deep
meditation. They are "apaurisheya", or authorless, or, to put it more
succinctly, they are superhuman." [1]
Professor Rukumani (Ph.D) points that "at the core of Hinduism is the
synthesis of sat (existence), chit (consciousness) and anant
(infinity) as found in the texts of the Vedas and the Upanishads said
to date back to 2500 B.C. These truths known as shruti (heard) were
revealed to sages in an inspired state of mind, and were handed down
for centuries from teacher to pupil by word of mouth. The techniques
of transmitting the shruti verse were so accurate and precise that
when they were finally written down, manuscripts composed
independently were found to agree syllable by syllable." [2]
According to Deepak Chopra "knowledge about God is of two kinds,
direct and indirect. Indirectly we can read scriptures, listen to
sermons, consult authorities, and from these sources build a
reasonable case that God exists. But such a God transmits no love to
Earth. Therefore nothing substitutes for gyana, which is direct
knowledge of the divine. Instead of having thoughts about God, you
share God's own thoughts. Her thoughts can only be about Herself.
This isn't cosmic self-centeredness, however. It confirms the fact
that spiritual knowledge is essential; truth; trust; devotion, and
love are inside our thoughts. Gyana is the mind in communion with
spirit." [3]
Of all the spiritual knowledge revealed to the children, perhaps the
most priceless of all is the one posed by Kash to the Great Adi
Shakti early 1994:
Kash: "Shri Mataji, what was Your original name?"
Shri Mataji: "Shri Lalita Devi."
Shri Lalita Devi
Camp Interval, Quebec, Canada — July 23, 1994
It was on June 23, 1994, the eve of the Guru Puja, that Kash
meditated and confirmed that Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi's original name
was Shri Lalita Devi! It is for this reason that the 1,000 esoteric
names throughout Shri Adi Shakti: The Kingdom of God are taken from
the Shri Lalita Sahasranama and attributed to Shri Mataji Nirmala
Devi, the incarnation of Shri Lalita Devi, the Great Goddess.

3. Deepak Chopra, The Path of Love
"As we now move to other ancient scriptures let us not be blinded
by "religious" parochialism. A mind overly conditioned by the
fatherly connotation of the Judeo-Christian tradition will, at first,
have some difficulty at the conception of the Divine in the feminine
form of the Mother. And yet, the cult of the Motherhood of God, from
time immemorial, has been attested by archaeological evidence from
all quarters of the globe. It seems that it is the Indian
subcontinent which presents us with the most elaborate expressions of
this worship.
According to Advaita Vedanta Ultimate Reality is formless
undifferentiated consciousness (Nirguna.) This condition, which is at
the same time the Absolute Being and Absolute Nothingness [1] cannot
be conceived of. Through eons of ages, it goes through alternate
phases of potentiality and manifestation. The alternation of this
cosmic rhythm has been called: "the respiration of Brahma." When the
ultimate reality rests in its latent phase, the Unmanifested, it is
contained in "IT." In the activating phase of its manifestation,
the "IT" becomes "HE" and "Her"; HH Mataji says that the first step
of the Creation takes place when God separates itself into Himself as
a witness and Herself as His power. One aspect is Sadashiva (The
Primordial Existent and Witness, God the Almighty, the Father, the
Purusha); the other is His power, the Adi Shakti, (The Primordial
Energy of Divine Love, the Divine Mother, the Prakriti.) [2] Thus the
Mother is the Primordial Energy . . . The Creation, spiritual and
material, springs from the Divine Mother, the Holy Spirit of the
Christian tradition. She creates various strata of existence, among
which is this phenomenal universe. As this Primordial Energy is the
genitrix of everything we experience, She is worshipped as the Sacred
Mother. We read in the first sutras of the Kama-Kalavilasa:
"Victory to Her the Primordial Power, the seed from which sprouts
hereafter the entire creation, static and kinetic universes, the
eternal, the incomparable, who is of the nature of Her own bliss, and
who manifests as a mirror to His (Shiva) self."
The Samaya Mata recalls that the distinction between He and Her is
only an apparent one: "There is no Shiva without Shakti nor is there
any Shakti without Shiva. There is no distinction between them just
as there is none between the moon and the shining." The Shakti
combines in Her person both the manifestation of the Universal
Existence (male form) and the Universal Energy (female form.) She is
thus identified with the One. The actualisation of this primordial
unity within the disciple is the object of the Shakti worship. She is
the central object of worship because She is the manifested dimension
of the Ultimate. She is the Great One who bridges the gap between the
Infinity and the Finite; only through Her compassionate meditation
can the finite human being regain Infinity. And that is indeed the
very blessing that She wants to graciously bestow on Her children.
"Thyself, with a view of manifesting Thyself in the form of the
Universe, inwardly assumest the form of Consciousness and Bliss." —
Shri Shankaracharya, Saundarya Lahari 35
Let us again remember that the Holy Spirit, as the Primordial Energy,
is the Christian mysterious symbol for the Mother.
We ought to mention, that in the apocryphal Acts of Saint Thomas, the
Holy Spirit is (rightly) invoked as "hidden Mother," "Mother of all
life." These statements should help us to recognize the true wisdom
of the early gnostics and Syrian fathers who grasped something of the
identity (Holy Spirit = Mother = Energy.) The esoteric perception
certainly casts a new light on the intriguing dialogue between Lord
Jesus Christ and Nicodemus:
"Truly, Truly, I say to you unless one is born anew, he cannot see
the Kingdom of God. Nicodemus said to him, "how can a man be born
when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and
be born?" Jesus answered "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is
born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter the Kingdom of God" —
John 3.3
The necessity to return to the Divine Mother in order to become a New
Adam, a second born, a Divine Child has been asserted by Lord Jesus.
It is time that those western seekers who have engaged themselves in
intellectual pursuits use their intellect to discover the Unity of
the message of the various mythologies and religions; they had better
realize the greatness of the Christian promise and the value of the
other world religions. HH Mataji has brilliantly exposed those
teachings in a new light which also illuminates the other religious
traditions and contemporary science. It is time for us to discover
that the true object of Knowledge is integration. All the great
religions are one. This is revealed by actualization when our own
integration takes place through rebirth.
Although the Great Goddess (Adi Shakti) is "Truly Formless" (see the
Devipurana) She has been worshipped through millennia in countless
aspects and forms. The three great aspects through which She is
channeling Her own power are Mahalaxshmi, Mahasaraswati, Mahakali.
She is also known to have taken various incarnated forms (avtaras.)
It is thus described in the Scriptures that She is the Primordial
Power, the utterly Holy. It is certainly not easy for the western
reader to face the very serious hypothesis that She can take human
form. To talk about it is even more difficult. This field of reality
only underlines the limitations of ideas and words."

1. In Mahayana buddhism "tathata" (suchness) and "sunyata"
(emptiness) are interchangeable notions.
2. Purusha and Prakriti represent the apparent opposition between the
Father-Spirit and the Mother-Nature."
