Scripture, Stories & Sādhana
Durgā. Her name means, "She who removes difficulties"
Invite Her into your life as a divine protectress, by understanding Her sacred weapons and learning to chant her 32 divine names.
"O Durgā! You are the one who brings an end to difficulties for your devotees."
~ 32 Names of Durgā
32 Names of Durgā is a deep, potent & accessible recitation AND very FUN to chant... and takes you inward swiftly while blessing you with profound protection. It is one of my favorite sanskrit hymns to recite! And understanding the weapons that find their way to you personally gives great resource in both spiritual sādhana & life. ~ Kaya

There is one Śakti - the cosmic source & sacred substance of reality. Out of Her emerges many aspects - which we call "goddesses" or "devīs".

As a human you want to fulfill many material goals in life.

Both of these aspects of life require fierce protection. And fierce protection is the result of faithful devotion.
And so we, deepen with Durgā Devī.

Navarātri
This program will be shared during Navarātri - the 9 Nights of the Goddess, but you can delve into Her realms anytime that you feel called.
Goddess festival times are portals to the sacred - a time to engage in devotional sādhanas to the Divine Mother and explore Her secrets.
Navarātri cycles can crack you open in the best of ways, opening you to love and the inner illumination of your own heart, where the divine pulses within.
Like the newborn baby in the lap of the mother, when we listen to Her meanings, and chant to Her it is like we are nestled in her arms. The meanings & mantras can be applied to sustain your relationship with the goddess and serve as an upāya [remedy] for difficult karmas - both material & spiritual.
"Divine Mother, you are the one who destroys all that obstructs your devotees"

A Note from Kaya
Like carrying a child, I realized it takes me about 9 months to gestate a vision for teaching something of the Goddess, before I can birth it.
Those who attended the Loving Mahālakṣmī or Navadurgā program may recall some teachings about the divine mother and the number 9.
It was about 9 months ago that I first had the impulse to guide students in chanting the 32 names of Durgā.
As I contemplated what story or teaching to combine with this recitation, it seemed fitting to return to teachings about Her weapons, which I shared with a small number of you some years ago. It is time to re-invoke and re-generate these teachings in combination with Her 32 names.
The 32 Names of Durgā are recommended to chant during Navarātri, during Eclipse Seasons, or when under the influence of the lunar nodes – rāhu / ketu or anytime one is in need of protection.
My hope is that the chanting of Her 32 sacred Names and knowledge of Her divine weapons will offer you great protection for years to come.
Love,
Kaya
