International Shri Mahakali Puja 2026

The Whole Universe Should be Enlightened with Your Desires.

Your desires should be so intense that they should emit out the pure vibrations of Mahakali Shakti, which is the pure desire of attaining the Spirit. That’s the real desire. All the other desires are like mirage.
You are the people who are chosen by God. Specially, first to express your desire, and then to achieve it.

And by intense desire of purity you have to purify the whole world. Not only the seekers, but even those who are not seekers. You have to create an aura around this universe, of desire to achieve the Ultimate, the Spirit.
Without desire this universe would not have been created. This Desire of God is the one that is the Holy Ghost, is this All-Pervading Power, is the Kundalini within you.

Kundalini has only one desire, is to be the Spirit and anything else, if you desire, the Kundalini doesn’t rise. Only when it knows that this desire is going to be fulfilled by somebody, who is facing the seeker, it is awakened. If you do not have the desire, no-one can force you.

Sahaja Yogis should never try to force this desire on other people.

*....I don’t want anything from you, except that you accept My Love. Surrendering just means you open your heart to accept My Love. Give up this ego. That’s all and it will work out. I’m sure it’s going to work out. I am trying to push Myself into your hearts and I’ll definitely settle down there. [Shri Mataji smiles]

After Puja Tour

Option One
Pongara National Park
Arrival 30th Nov to 2nd Dec Departure

Pongara National Park is located on the coast in north-western Gabon, near Libreville on the south side of the Gabon Estuary and taking in much of the Pointe Denis peninsula. Covering nearly 600 square miles, it presents a varied range of forest types as well as savanna and a significant amount of sandy beach.

Notable habitats to be found here include mangrove, swamp, and riverine forest, and they play host to a remarkably diverse range of flora and fauna, the former dominated by varieties of Avicennia and Rhizophora tree species.

It is Pongara’s wildlife that is the true draw of the park, some of the continent’s most fascinating species: elephant, gorilla, various species of monkey, buffalo and other species are found in the forest, and sea turtles of various types frequent the estuary, the leatherback using Pongara’s beaches for breeding. Whales and dolphins can be observed out to sea, and also notable is the presence of a healthy population of the vulnerable Damara tern.

The long rainy seasons from September to December and February to May present the best opportunities to see primates and large mammals, for instance, while turtles breed from November-March and whales and dolphins from June-August.

Cost: To be shared in a few weeks time. This price is still under negotiation.

It will cover:

Gabon, a country along the Atlantic coast of Central Africa, has significant areas of protected parkland.

Gabon is a French-speaking country situated on the west coast of Africa at the equator. Known for its rich biodiversity, Gabon is home to vast rainforests and numerous national parks, making it a significant area for conservation efforts and ecotourism.

The nation's capital, Libreville, serves as the political and cultural hub, showcasing a blend of modern and traditional influences.

Living in Gabon, especially in the capital Libreville, offers a mix of modern comfort and African adventure. City life is relatively comfortable, with good schools, restaurants, and an expat community.

As of 2024, Gabon has maintained its position as the cleanest country in Africa according to the Environmental Protection Index (EPI) by Yale University.

It is estimated that approximately 73 percent of the population practice at least some elements of Christianity, about 12 percent practice Islam, about 10 percent practice traditional indigenous religions exclusively, and about 5 percent practice no religion or are atheists.

Gabonese cuisine is a rich blend of traditional African staples—cassava, plantains, yams, and palm nuts—and French culinary influences. The national dish is Poulet Nyembwe, chicken cooked in a thick palm nut butter sauce. Other staples include smoked fish, cassava leaves, groundnuts, and popular street foods like Les Nikes.

Gabon has the moist, hot climate typical of tropical regions. The hottest month is January.
