I am excited to offer this powerful program for the third year!

CHANDI SADHANA IS ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND POWERFUL PRACTICES WE CAN ENGAGE IN FOR OURSELVES, THE BENEFIT OF OUR FAMILIES, OUR COMMUNITIES AND THE WORLD AT LARGE IN THESE CHALLENGING TIMES.

CHANDI MAA IS THE GREAT GODDESS WHO BRINGS BALANCE TO ALL THE WORLDS. SHE IS CALLED WHEN THE MALE GODS ARE POWERLESS. SHE COMES IN TIMES WHEN THE EARTH AND ALL HER CHILDREN ARE BEING THREATENED BY FORCES OF GREED & IGNORANCE. SHE IS KNOWN FOR THE HARMONY, BEAUTY, AND PEACE THAT SHE RESTORES WITHIN AND AROUND US.

CHANDI IS DURGA, SHE IS KALI, SHE IS THE WRATHFUL MOTHER WHO ON A PERSONAL LEVEL BURNS OUR KARMAS, AND STOPS AFFLICTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE THOUGHT PATTERNS AND BEHAVIORS. SHE ASSISTS IN DISSOLVING OUR CONDITIONED WAYS OF REACTING RATHER THAN RESPONDING.
HER TRANSFORMATIVE FIRES BURN THROUGH OUR OWN DELUSIONS AND ILLUSIONS AND HELP US TO DISCERN WHAT IS REAL. SHE REMINDS US OF THE REFUGE WE CAN ALWAYS FIND WITHIN THE SANCTUARY OF OUR HEARTS NO MATTER WHAT CHAOS SURROUNDS US.

For A LOT more information, please email us at chandiseminars@gmail.com and we will send you all the details about the first seminar in February as well as all three seminars of this program.
