We explore the magnificence of Saraswati Ma:  Goddess of the Arts, Music, Education and Spiritual Wisdom, the Vedas, and the Sacred Sound Current.  She represents the refinement of consciousness and the intellect into higher octaves of expression.

We also explore the Goddesses Kali and Durga, learn about their stories and why they are so often put together. Durga represents courage, fearlessness, empowerment and following intuition. She dissolves negativity. Kali is a more fierce form and represents transformation, ferociousness, and ultimate liberated shakti power which reveals the divine eternal truth. 

On day 3 we explore the Goddess Radha, who is the Embodiment of Pure Love and Devotion. She is sweetness and beauty personified and represents the longing of the soul to unite with the Beloved. Over hundreds of years the Goddess Radha has emerged as a sovereign entity in Her own right, although in the most profound teachings of Radha/Krishna it is conveyed that they are truly one being and inseparable in their eternal Divine Union.  We'll dive into the richness of the Gaudiya Vaisnav tradition (the worship of Radha and Krishna) and learn more about the path of Bhakti (devotion) through the understanding of Radha. 

We also explore the Goddess Lakshmi, who is the Goddess of Fortune, abundance, prosperity, and fertility. She is also the Goddess of the Lotus, representing spiritual enlightenment and brilliance. She is widely worshiped in India and all over the world as the consort of Vishnu the sustainer. She is who brings harmony to the family and marriage, health, wealth and good luck. She is lustrous and she is the source of infinite abundance.

Day 4 we explore the Goddess Tara, whose origins go back to ancient northern India before She became Buddhist deity. She is known widely as the Mother of Compassion and Wisdom although She has many attributes, including her fierce forms. We'll learn about Her different expressions and. the cultural contexts She emerges from.
