The Veil is becoming thinner. Can you feel it? The natural desire to live for eternity while facing our own mortality is palatable. We swing back on forth on a pendulum made of stardust and ash. Shifting sands are inevitable.

As we move into the darker time of the year; the absence of light can actually help us become more clear. Facing fears, while standing rooted in the truth of who we are is necessary now... and yet, even our perception of self is not as solid as we once thought it to be.

Reinventing ourselves is an art in itself 🌹

Death dances around the corner, yet some of us think we have all the time in the world. KALA is indeed related to KALI.. and when we lose the fear of time, we step into eternal reality... we break free from constraints imposed upon us by this mortal body.

Kali is the Goddess who takes us there. In pagan traditions, She is quite similar to Hecate. Both show us our way through the dark, not by removing the dark ess but by reminding us of our power to exist within its warm embrace.

Realizing just how fragile we are goes hand in hand with tasting our own innate divinity. We always know what must or should be done, even when we pretend we don't know. Sometimes we choose to forget for the sake of the plot, or in Sanskrit, "lila".

However, if we believe that this reality is what it seems we stay caught in a web of pressure to achieve temporary gains. Only when we turn our face to that which exists beyond the external... to the realms felt by the mystics; can we truly begin to exist in a state of blissful awareness. Claiming freedom is an inside job.

On this All Hallow's Eve; I invite you to ask yourself.... where are you hiding from yourself? And are you willing to look beyond the veil to discover your role in this magnificent mystery called life? 🎃✨️🔱

For those on the spiritual path, I have a question for you. And also for those celebrating Diwali, where the light is said to triumph over the darkness.

My question is, are you able to sit in the absolute darkness?

without rushing to fill it with light...

without fear of facing yourself...

without the need to control?

Today is Amavasya, the dark moon... the sacred pause before the new moon. It is the most important day each month for Tantriks to honor the Goddess. It is time to rest back into her fertile soil and surrender to her mystery.

It is time of lower physical energy but profound intuition. Therefore, despite the common practices of society, we chose to reflect the energy of the moon... and right now she invites us to go within.

So, as you light your lamps and say your prayers; take a moment to dive into the shadow.

What are you still clinging to?

Where are you blocking your own expression?

And are you so consumed with performance that you forget just to feel?

The path of Shakti is very different. It doesn't follow conventional norms, but rather allows the energies of nature and of the Goddess herself to envelop you, to guide you and ultimately to transform you.

The Darkness does not need to be changed. It is in itself divine and holds many lessons for us if we are willing to listen.

What most people don't know about Navaratri, is that it is the most potent time of the year for yoga sadhana. It is itself a portal where we are given greater access to Kundalini, just like Devi becomes easier to connect wih during this powerful period, so too does her energyof transformation.

The yogis and yoginis understand that Nava Durga corresponds to Nava chakra; so for us it is essential to not only chant and worship; but perhaps even more important is to go deeper in our yoga practice... to do those kriyas that will awaken the chakras, balance the nadis and allow Kundalini to flow.

After all Parvati is Shaliputri, daughter of the moutian, Himalayan yogini; who took up yogic tapasya not to get a husband but to realize higher consciousness, Shiva.

So on this first day of Navaratri, I encourage you to make a vrata to practice with renewed dedication what is the greatest gift ShivShakti has given to humanity - YOGA.

Btw, yoga is not a masculine path as some say... it is the divine way of HA THA, sun and moon harmonization; which allows Ida and Pingala to balance, so Sushumna can open; hence allowing Kundalini to rise.

It is truly possible to awaken these dormant energies through yoga alone. I know from over twenty years of experience. Especially when you practice Ta**ra yoga with the prescribed techniques to activate each chakra. It may not look as dramatic as shaking or gyrating on the floor, but the power that comes to you is yours alone... long lasting, cellular changes happen that cannot be compared.

Please comment the word, Kundalini, if you would like to know more about Ta**ra yoga. I will be offering a 3 day training in the coming months.

Jai Ma!🌹All the blessings for your sadhana this Navaratri. ✨️🪷🔻🔱🌿🇳🇵✨️⚘️🌙

Is the unborn ever born? She just appears when we need her the most. Firce and full of fiery power... her sacred rage erupts like lightening in the sky.

MA KALI, known by all as the Dark Mother, who births universes and destroys them with a mere glance. When we connect with Her we tap into an ancient force so strong and deep, that we cannot help but be transformed... along with every aspect of our lives.

I started Ma Kali sadhana several years back. She gave me sovereignty... the power to be alone and yet feel deeply connected. Everything that I am today is because of Her grace. Whatever has transpired, the most difficult if circumstances, I have faced with only Ma to hold me through it.

I no longer desire to please others at the expense of my own well-being; nor am I afraid of future uncertainty. Ma is my security and my refuge. She has birthed me again into my current form.

I don't claim to be a big devotee, doing her pujas externally; but her energy pulses though my veins. Her mantras dance on my tongue.

Thank you to the land of Nepal and my Gurus there who have introduced me to Her. May I simply be a vessel for her divine purpose to manifest on this earthy realm.

Jai Ma Kali! 🌹🔱

Once you reach a certain state of expanded love… there is no going back to ordinary relationships.

So I ask you — where are you right now on your evolution of love?

Are you still searching, desiring, or waiting for “the One”?
If so, perhaps consider this: you are the One.
Whoever enters your life is merely a mirror to remind you of that sacred truth.

In my own journey, I was once a serial monogamist — even married for 13 years. But something subtle and profound has shifted in me recently. Let me try to share it…

I realized that constantly being “in a relationship” was keeping me from something far deeper — myself.
From the flow of life, which longs to move through me.

So I turned inward.
I chose sovereignty — not as isolation, but as wholeness.
A state where I am deeply nourished, powerful, and rooted in my own essence.

As I watched the patterns of masculine–feminine dynamics, I began to sense when entanglement was arising. That sticky, subconscious projection I felt coming at me when man was coming with energy of possession, sizing me up as if I might check off those boxes in his mind.

As women of the Goddess, we cannot fall into societal illusions.
We are guides into the sacred realms of Love.
We are here to liberate, not to cling.
To ignite, not to possess.

Jealousy, attachment, desperation — these are not love. They are just unhealed longing wearing a mask.

The path of T.ᴀɴᴛʀᴀ teaches us to become conduits of unconditional, universal Love.
Love that is rooted in trust, not fear.
Love that flows freely, without needing to grasp or own.

This is a deep unlearning — a shedding of the old societal story that tells us we must “settle down.”
Because let’s be honest… that often just means putting out the fire of our wild, creative life-force.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t marry, if you’ve truly found soul-deep love. But partnership is not the purpose of life.

We are here to become vessels of the Divine in many forms.
And for some of us — especially those walking the path of the Priestess — there comes a time when we can no longer betray our balance, our power, or our sacred path for a single moment.

Continued in the comments.

The pulse of the Goddess, felt in this moment, both simple and profound, innocent and er0tic... brings me closer to something that can't be named, yet is the origin of everything.

I feel Her in...

🌿 The rich smell of the wet earth

🌿 The vibrant energy of the plants

🌿 The way my cat devours her fish

🌿 The power of the relentless rain

🌿 The warmth of my feline companion's body

🌿 The smiles of the local people

🌿 The gray sky against vibrant green

🌿 The way life unfolds here and now

So while deep in these monsoon waters that stir both creativity and inspire deep rest; I let go and trust that just by being all will get done.

"Susegad" is the Goan word for a relaxed life... and being so steeped in nature life takes on a slower rhythm where Bhumi Ma invites you to surrender your worries and trust her flow.

The red river of life force flows as Ma Kamakhya Devi bleeds during this sacred time of Ambubachi. All Feminine rituals begin here.

If you want to connect with Her energy, affirm the er.o.tic nature of your moon cycle by 🔻 relishing every phase, particularly the red one.

Ladies, are you allowing for sacred rest during menstruation? If not this is a perfect time to renew that committment; not only for yourself but for the benefit of your community at large.

The world needs more women tapped into their womb wisdom to guide humanity back to the GODDESS..back to LOVE... back to LIFE!

What is your relationship to your blood? Let it remind you of your connection to the Mother of us all. Tap into that current of power 🔻 through ritualizing your cycle.

It is more urgent than ever to start a practice of offering your blood back to mother earth. Chant Ma Kamakhya's name as you do so. Pray that bloodshed for death may come to an end. Blood is meant to be the elixir of life itself. 🌿

As we collectively remember this truth and offer our blood to seed new life, let us pray that all war comes to an end...

And that they stop the spilling of innocent blood as we honor the sacred life giving red richness of our womb blood, the space that constantly creates and renews.

Let us re-discover the ancient power we carry as women to bring life into this world. May the men learn to truly protect all life! 🌹

Whispers from the Womb of the Goddess...

Everyone is seeking what SHE so effortlessly possesses. Her Yoni 🪷 holds the codes of birth, death and transformation.

Only the fearless may approach Her. 

Bright like Fire. ❤️‍🔥 Flowing like Water.💦

Yet belonging to the Earth as Promordial Mother of all Creation! 🌿

Don't dare to try to touch Her directly, but rather gain her favour by softly chanting her name with utmost reverence.

||Kleem Kleem Kamakhya Kleem Kleem namaha: ||

“क्लीं क्लीं कामाख्या क्लीं क्लीं नमः |”

Feel the pulse of Shakti and the secrets She guards within. Let Her awaken you...

Be ready to bear your soul. Let Devi hold you.

Blessings to all Shaktas during this sacred time of Ambubachi. 🔻 Jai Kamakhya Devi! 🌹

The Drums Still Call: A Beltane Prayer

The sky we once read like a love letter is now smeared with chem.trails, as insecure men grasp for control. They conjure machines to mimic our minds, as if the soul could be engineered. They distract and sedate us with glowing screens, pixelated opiates that hush our instincts, dull our remembering.

And yet — in the heart of all this madness — we are called to midwife a new Earth?

It seems impossible, some days.

And yet... we dream of Beltane wildness — drums echoing through mossy valleys, skin warm against skin beneath a blooming canopy, firelight kissing bare feet and laughter spun like spells into the night.

But how do we dance freely under a sky surveilled and sickened? As egos battle for supremacy over a domain that was never meant to be fought over?

All of this — the exploitation of nature, the erasure of the sacred, the silencing of the old ways — is an assault on the Mother herself. The Earth who nursed us before we had names, who fed us with berries, dreams, and oceans.

They tried to bury the ancient faiths — the ones that bowed to trees, that listened to rivers, that lit fires not for war but for wonder. They burned our temples, but not our knowing.

We are here now because of this — not by accident, but as guardians. As stubborn seeds. As the wild prayer that refused to die.

So yes, it is daunting. But deep beneath the noise, the Earth is still singing.

And if you’re quiet — or wildly loud with love — you’ll hear her calling us home.


.. thank you for these captures

Parvati longs for Shiva's embrace. Yet he remains out of reach until she dives deeper into her own power. She must get to know her inner Shiva first, the awareness beyond all externalities. As she awakens her yogini within, Shiva awakens his desire to love.

On this Maha Shiva Ratri we celebrate divine love as the primordial masculine and feminine merge in ecstatic sacred union, birthing this world into existence.

Eternally one, yet desiring to know oneself the original Being became two. Only when the other exists can there be the duality necessary to reflect and understand one Self. Even God and Goddess have this natural desire.

Can you dance with Shiva Shakti? 💃

Are you able to move from the silence of meditation, where you feel totally immersed in your source energy, yet also able to totally dive into the experience of life?

The Ta***ic is unafraid to do so because he/she has cultivated the power to be in both dimensions and therefore trusts that she will find her way back to that inner state of union.

Without relationship knowledge will remain superficial, avoidant and spiritual bypassy. It is easier to avoid the mess and just protect one's routine aka sadhana. However, it is incomplete and indeed less pleasurable.

What if your most essential spiritual work is to bare all in intimacy? What if you are meant to experience epic love and the inevitible heartbreak it brings?

True wisdom is derived through this dance of union and separation.

Longing and Satisfaction.

Desire and Stillness.

Se.x and Spirit.

Power and Consciousness.

Shakti and Shiva 🔱

We welcome all you have to teach us. We honor your mystery and magic. We enter into your dance woth full surrender and devotion.

Om Namah Pavate Pataye. Hara Hara Mahadev. Shambo!

Heart centered connection is so needed in our world right now. People are so fast to block out even those closest to them when they feel the slightest discomfort.

Ta**ra is a path that invites us deeply into the realms of unconditional love, divine consciousness and deep trust in the process of life.

With that said, you cannot have this type of exchange so easily and it is not even recommended despite the popularity of intimate practices in Ta**ra workshops. Those settings are there to teach, give a glimpse into what may be possible, but you can only experience divine union in its most exalted form with one you truly love.. in which you both recognize each other at the soul level.

Lately I have received requests for Ta**ra sessions from men searching for something, but I am not able to go ahead as there is no surrender to the essence of this ancient practice... so they approach in a way that is transactional and with a desire to get something.

And so, I keep my temple walls high, as every living Goddess must do. It is exhausting at times being in this country (India)... where the patriarchy has ruled for far too long and they believe that money gives qualification, but for the most part it has led to way too many inflated egos. But that is another topic.

Who is qualified in this day and age to come near to the Priestess after all? Only one who can lay down his ego and surrender to her flow of innate wisdom. He must honor her ability to awaken the love that he is so much in need of experiencing.

The man with me here is a dear friend and a highly qualified Shaman. This image is not an invitation but rather a reminder for you to seek out connections that inspire your greatness and honor the truth of who you are. We cannot share ourselves with the masses, as they have a long way to go to even reach the temple gate.

So, in conclusion... love yourself first and remember your worth. Ta**ra brings expansion of all that you are... guiding you to rise into your exalted state of divine power.

P.S. I am making this post on new years day but it is not the new year, but rather the middle of winter and a time for self reflection and deep rest.
