Goddess Parvati

WITH RADHAA

Course Description

Fierce times call for fierce goddesses. Whether the challenge is a personal crisis or a worldwide shutdown, our spiritual lives may get kicked into high gear as we seek the wisdom and courage to achieve a more radical understanding of the inevitable dark sides of life.

In the Tantric traditions of India, the Ten Goddesses of Transcendent Wisdom (in Sanskrit, dasha-mahavidyas) reveal the entirety of creation and our experiences within it. They are radiantly powerful archetypes who oversee a range of cosmic processes – from the wild, rampant, yet auspicious destructiveness of Kali to the graceful beneficence of the lotus goddess Kamala, also known as Sri-Lakshmi. The other eight represent varying aspects of life and wisdom manifest in our worldly existence; all of these creating great opportunity for amazing contemplation. They represent stark reality, and understanding their wisdom and mystery may help us navigate times that may be tougher than anything we’d experienced before. When we learn to appreciate and align with the auspiciousness of their processes, we attain a whole new level of spiritual mastery and tools to move gracefully through life’s mysterious inevitabilities.

The very nature of the Goddess is energy, and therefore she is always shifting and changing. On one level we will consider the different aspects of these goddesses; this one is ferocious, that one is serene, and so forth. However, we will see that even adhering to those rigid categories relegates our understanding to a linear, constricted perception of the world.  To engage in perceiving these goddesses as they really are, we will expand outside of those boundaries to consider, for example,  the tender, gracious heart of the “ferocious” Kali, or the formidable power of the “gentle” Kamala. Feminine power, Shakti, is its own kind of power.  We will come to appreciate how mind-stunning paradox may catapult the consciousness to transcendent wisdom.

Students who take this course will learn how to:

  • Recognize the stark, fierce, yet beneficent nature of the Tantric group of goddesses known as Dasha-Mahavidyas (10 Goddesses of Transcendent Wisdom)
  • Identify the individual personas of these goddesses, as well as their primordial essence as one unified, ever-fluctuating energy
  • Contemplate the relationship between dualities (such as destruction and creation, movement and stillness, confusion and contentment, abundance and restriction), and the wisdom that transcends duality
  • Understand how worshipers of the Mahavidyas align with the power of Transcendent Wisdom
  • Live wisely in times of turmoil, from the Tantric perspective of Mahavidya theology
  • Observe your own responses and needs in the midst of uncertainty, and how aligning with the transcendent wisdom of these goddesses can offer powerful tools of navigation
  • Experience guided contemplative exercises and deep meditations designed to restore you, recalibrate you, and inspire you to move forward with wisdom and verve
