In Praise of the Goddess: Stories of Durga and Kali

Join Susanna for a telling of the essential Durga and Kali stories from the Devi Mahatmya, the great goddess text that presents Shakti in her most powerful forms. The vibrancy of the text reveals the concepts of Devi and Shakti as exciting, surprising, and moving. We will explore well-known and lesser-known forms of the goddess, learn about the text itself, and practice key Shakti mantras and mudras. There will be time for questions and discussion. She is the Lover, the Warrior, the Mother of the Universe.

In Praise of the Goddess is a celebration of Navaratri, the Nine Nights of the Goddess, October 17-26.

“To the Devi who is known as intelligence in all beings,

Reverence to Her, reverence to Her,

Reverence to Her, reverence, reverence.”

~Arthur Avalon translation
