TRANSFORMED BY FIRE
Invoking the Power and Protection of Durga
Durga embodies a dimension of Shakti that is fierce without being destructive, protective without being defensive, and powerful without losing compassion.
This course invites you into the sacred world of Durga through mantra, scripture, ritual, and contemplative practice. Rather than approaching the Goddess only as an object of devotion, we learn to recognize her as a living spiritual powerā€”one that can be invoked, internalized, and embodied.
Beginning with Navaratri and the Nine Forms of Durga, we explore the 108 Names of Durga, the Vedic Durga Suktam, the Devi Mahatmya, and the sacred fire practice of Durga Havan. Together, these teachings offer complementary ways of approaching the extraordinary scope of the Divine Feminine.
Our purpose is not simply to accumulate mantras or rituals, but to develop a coherent spiritual practice through which courage, protection, clarity, compassion, and transformative power become increasingly available in everyday life.
INCLUDES NEW MODULE ON NAVARATRI: THE NINE DAYS OF SHAKTI
Nine Manifestations of the Divine Feminine. Nine Opportunities for Transformation. Nine Days of Shared Process Together.
Navaratri offers a sacred opportunity to explore the extraordinary scope of Shakti through nine manifestations of Durga. Each goddess reveals a distinctive dimension of the Divine Feminineā€”from grounded strength, purification, and protection to creative warmth, compassion, courage, spiritual radiance, and fulfillment.
Ā Each day's experience brings together six complementary elements. You will be joining me in my own practice and reflection. You can also share your process with me and other students.
-
Meet the Goddess: Discover her sacred imagery, attributes, and symbolism.
-
Understand the Shakti: Explore the spiritual power embodied in her particular manifestation.
-
Chant the Sacred Names: Practice twelve of Durga's 108 names each day, completing the entire sequence over nine days.
-
Contemplate: Reflect upon a question that connects the teaching with your own experience.
-
Practice: Engage in a simple spiritual exercise that helps internalize the day's Shakti.
-
Carry It Into Your Day: Bring the teaching into your relationships, activities, and everyday circumstances.
DEEPENING YOUR EXPERIENCE OF SHAKTI
The days of Navaratri offer an accessible and meaningful introduction to Durga's extraordinary powers. From this foundation, you can deepen your experience through three complementary dimensions of sacred practice: sound, wisdom, and fire. Together, they bring mantra, spiritual understanding, and ritual into a coherent relationship with Shakti.
SACRED SOUND
Invoke Durga Through Mantra: Learn to chant and work with sacred formulas associated with Durga, from the Vedic power of the Durga Suktam to devotional and Tantric expressions of the Goddess. Sound becomes the primary means through which we invoke, concentrate, and experience Shakti through our voice.
SACRED WISDOM
Encounter the Goddess: Be introduced toĀ the Devi Mahatmya and enter the world of the 108 Names of Durga to discover the many dimensions of the Goddess. Myth, symbolism, contemplation, and sacred names deepen our understanding of Durga as both cosmic power and an intimate presence within spiritual practice.
SACRED FIRE
Transform Through Ritual:Ā Bring mantra, intention, offering, and visualization together through Durga Havan. Working with physical fire provides a powerful ritual container for purification, transformation, protection, and the conscious directing of spiritual energy. Learn the most ancient form of ritual known to humans: fire!
