Testimonials

I love each class I've attended held and hosted by Miss Vyas and walk away feeling peace in my heart and a desire to grow closer to Devi. Siddhi does wonderfully by narrating one or few stories regarding the deity being taught or focused on and makes these stories so easy to digest for the modern person, as there can be cultural and spiritual themes that a Westerner isnt exposed to. All that to say, even with needing to look through multiple frames of understanding, with Siddhi's discourse it's simply easier to understand the theme playing out in these cosmic tales. I also greatly appreciate the time taken by Siddhi to read through any shloka or mantra for sake of clarity and a lesson in Sanskrit.

Siddhi is an excellent teacher and guide. I firmly believe that her offering this class was no coincidence as far as timing for deepening my understanding and devotion to Devī. I’m eternally grateful to Siddhi for offering this service to us and also providing a sliding scale. She also provided wonderful materials and prompts to reflect on, as well as personally responding to any questions and reflections that our class shared during our sadhana. Siddhi’s insight on the true nature of desire and the Mother were profound and illuminating.
