✦Navaratri Day Ten · The Day of Victory✦
Vijayadasami 2026 · Tuesday, October 20
Receive the victory you need in your life today.
The day Shirdi Baba chose
On Vijayadasami in October 1918, Shirdi Sai Baba sat in his small Dwarkamai temple. Devotees came to invite him to the Mother Divine festival feast and to carry the last request of his beloved Tatya, who lay dying. Baba sent them away. Alone with Laxmibai, watching the fire, he pressed nine coins into her hand — nine angles of reaching God — gave his students his namasmarana for the first time, and spoke his final promise. Then he turned to Tatya, who had run to the Dwarkamai healed and begging him to stay:
No. It’s the time Mother Divine is calling. I’m taking off. Goodbye.
He chose the day of the Mother’s victory to complete his mission on earth and return his soul to its source. Not coincidence — Baba, who told his students in advance when he would leave, chose Vijayadasami deliberately. The Sri Sai Satcharitra says it plainly: “Vijayadasami is regarded by all Hindus as the most auspicious time and it is befitting that Baba should choose this time for his crossing the border.”
On this sacred lunar anniversary, the Divine Mother’s infinite love and Baba’s eternal presence are tangibly alive together. It is the most auspicious day in the calendar to reach both — and Baba’s own word on what happens when a soul does:
“Who really surrenders to me, it is my duty to take care of them.”
The tenth day is victory
Vijayadasami is the festival of the Divine Mother’s triumph over the forces that obscure the light. In the story the tradition tells, those forces gathered into Mahishasura — a being who had accumulated so much power that the gods themselves could not defeat him. Only the Mother could. Sri Kaleshwar described how every deity, every maharshi and every angel came together in one form to meet him, and prevailed.
This is a day for the soul’s victory: clarity over confusion, light over whatever has been blocking the light, the soul’s original nature over the weight of everything that has covered it. Nine days of sacred fire, transmission and teaching purify and clear whatever blocks the soul’s connection to the Mother. Vijayadasami is the day the clearing completes — a doorway to overcome what stands in the way of your spiritual progress, receive the courage to walk your true path, and receive healing, strength and divine fulfillment.
In each person there is a fire, a light. See that light, that is She. Whenever you pull Her in you, that is Her nature.

A special process to connect with Shirdi Baba’s Gurusthan and its infinite austerity power — the whole day of Vijayadasami, a blessing transmission given on the day, and two sacred objects carried from Shirdi itself.

Register for the PackageThe udi and neem leaf are shipped to your home; the blessing transmission is given on Vijayadasami, Tuesday, October 20.
Everything the Vijayadasami Celebration holds — the Sunrise Abishek, the Bhajans Worship Concert, satsang with Dr. Nityanandaji and the Sacred Fire Worship, live and in replay — together with:
These carry the vibrations of Baba’s eternal flames — satya (truth), dharma (righteousness), prema (divine love) and shanti (peace) — and serve as a lasting anchor for his grace in your home and heart. Connect to Baba’s infinite austerity power, dissolve karmas, and invite protection, healing and spiritual awakening into every part of your life.
Baba’s udi is the most powerful spiritual medicine — a living channel to Shirdi Sai Baba’s miraculous energy. Taken from his dhuni, it carries the vibration of the Divine Master and connects you directly to the source of divine consciousness. Used for healing, protection and spiritual connection, it offers practical and immediate support to devotees in every aspect of life.
A laminated leaf from the miraculous neem tree that stands over Baba’s power spot in Shirdi — his Gurusthan, where four eternal flames still burn beneath the earth. Personally collected in 2019 during a miraculous experience, these eighteen leaves were preserved with the intention of sharing Baba’s inexhaustible blessings with Western devotees. Twelve remain.
This offering helps raise much-needed funds to support the work of the Divine Mother Center and the ongoing activities of the Karuna Shirdi Sai Baba Temple.

Good to know
Registration stays open until 12:00 noon Pacific on Tuesday, October 20 — so you can still join on the morning of the day itself and be in time for the satsang and the Sacred Fire Worship.
Every session is recorded and the replays are posted inside DEVI LOKA. You receive the full day whether you are present for it live or not, and the fire carries your name either way.
All times listed are Pacific. On October 20 that is 3 hours behind New York, 8 hours behind London and 12½ hours behind India — so the Sunrise Abishek at 7:00 AM PT is 10:00 AM in New York, 3:00 PM in London and 7:30 PM in India. The evening fire falls overnight for Europe and Asia; the replay is there in the morning.
No. Vijayadasami stands on its own and is complete in itself. The nine nights deepen it, but the tenth day gives its own victory to whoever comes to it.
Inside DEVI LOKA, the Divine Mother Center’s online community. The Vijayadasami space is added to your account the moment you register — nothing else to install, nothing else to find.
Then Vijayadasami is already yours, in full. Day Ten is included with every ticket to the Navaratri Virtual Retreat — there is nothing further to buy. The Special Blessing Package remains open to you if you would like to receive the blessing transmission, the udi and the neem leaf.
The whole Vijayadasami Celebration, a powerful blessing transmission given on the day, and two sacred objects from Shirdi sent to your home: udi from Baba’s dhuni and a laminated neem leaf from his Gurusthan. Eighteen leaves were collected in 2019; twelve remain, so twelve packages are offered. Proceeds support the Divine Mother Center and the Karuna Shirdi Sai Baba Temple.
Yes. It is offered on this one day, when the Divine Mother’s victory and Baba’s mahasamadhi meet — and only until the twelve are gone or registration closes at noon Pacific, whichever comes first.
