Durga Ashtakam Class

About

In this class, you will explore the profound verses of the Durga Ashtakam, an ancient Sanskrit hymn dedicated to Goddess Durga. Each verse is a powerful invocation that not only glorifies the goddess but also imbues the chanter with her divine qualities of courage, wisdom, and resilience. Our course is structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of the hymn's spiritual significance, pronunciation, and the correct intonation for chanting. Additionally, you will delve into the 32 names of Durga, each representing a unique aspect of the goddess's power and benevolence. Learning these names will deepen your understanding of Durga's multifaceted nature and enhance your spiritual practice. Whether you are a beginner or have some experience in spiritual practices, this class is tailored to meet your needs. You will have the flexibility to learn at your own pace, with access to detailed video tutorials, guided chanting sessions, and insightful commentaries that unravel the deeper meanings of each verse and name. Additionally, you will receive practical tips on incorporating these chants into your daily meditation routine to enhance your spiritual growth and inner peace. By the end of this course, you will not only master the Durga Ashtakam and the 32 names of Durga but also cultivate a profound sense of empowerment and divine connection. Join us in this sacred journey and let the blessings of Goddess Durga illuminate your path towards spiritual enlightenment and cosmic harmony.

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.
