Namaste & Welcome
Shakti Sangha
Shakti Sangha is a monthly devotional gathering to explore the Divine Mother through prayer, study, and shared practice. It is open to both dedicated practitioners and those simply curious about Hinduism and the Shakti tradition.
This offering is donation-based. No one is turned away for financial reasons, and those who are able are encouraged to contribute. All donations support this work and the Matria Devi Scholarship Fund, helping keep future offerings accessible.
Some topics we will cover...
What is Puja? Understanding the art of sacred ritual and offerings.
What is Diksha? Exploring the journey of initiation and soul-vows. Is this always required?
What is Sadhana? Practicing presence through the lens of the Divine Feminine.
Understanding the Divine Mother (Maa): Deepening our relationship with the cosmic source.
Building a home altar: Creating a physical space for sacred connection.
Simple mantras and bhajans: Channeling devotion through sound and word.
