Dasa Mahavidya: The Ten Wisdom Goddesses
Saturday, September 20th
1-3pm
Broome Street Ganesha Temple, 430 Broome St, New York, NY 10013
In Person & Zoom
The Tantric traditions present ten esoteric forms of Shakti, the Dasa Mahavidya: Kali, Tara, Tripura Sundari, Bhuvaneshvari, Bhairavi, Chinnamasta, Dhumavati, Bagalamukhi, Matangi, and Kamala Devi. Some of them correspond to more well-known forms, such as Matangi, the Tantric Saraswati.
These goddesses give a person access to their unconscious desires, patterns, and fears, that on the surfaces may be confusing or displeasing to the individual. Through relating to these goddesses, a person can gain hidden spiritual gifts and inner transformation. While the Mahavidyas are misunderstood as being “dangerous” to worship, this class will lead participants through safe and effective ways of connecting with these energies. This is also a helpful class in understanding the Shakta (Goddess) traditions of the subcontinent in general, ahead of Navratri, the nine-day autumn Goddess festival.
