A river has fresh water flowing in it, every moment but yet is very old. Objects are either old or new, but in nature you will find the old and the new existing together. Our consciousness is 'Nith nutan' ancient and new at the same time. Ancient & new: Every moment is alive with consciousness.Even if you get angry, that too is the Devi. In all forms: Nature and its distortions are all forms of the Devi.There is no place where the Devi is not present. Omnipresent: Devi is present as consciousness in everyone.Let us understand how the Devi is present everywhere and at all times. With the message of the Devi’s presence in the things, people, and situations we dislike and like both, the chant is meant to evoke irrevocable equanimity in a devotee. As per Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the chant represents the Devi’s presence across universe and time. The chant shows the deeper facets of the Devi which are often missed. Significance of the chant ‘Ya Devi Sarva Bhuteshu’ This chant, which originates in the Rig Veda, has become a part of the daily Navratri prayers and sadhana. Sage Vak, the composer, has captured every part of human existence and attributed it to the Mother Divine. What emerged was a spontaneous expression of this ecstasy in praise of that Consciousness which we today know as 'Ya Devi Sarva Bhutessu'. Thousands of years ago, a young lady is believed to have started dancing in ecstasy after a single realization that changed her life forever: that her life originated from the infinite Consciousness that is formless and present in every form.
