" Blessings, I am a fan of your great organisation and I thank you

for your generosity.

 

The more I read on your website, the more I realise that my vision

about spirituality and Devi is the same than yours.

 

I would like to know, can one become a shakta without a teacher ?

Can I consider myself a shakta if I agree with all the scriptures

and vision of Shakti? I'm preparing to buy the books on your

suggested Amazon list and would like to really to get into the

practice, is there some books that can help be to attaint a daily

shaktism practice? I'm in Montreal, Canada, do you know a teacher

or maybe a center nearby?

 

I know that it is a lot of questions but you are the only ressource

that I know of about shaktism and I trust your expertise.

 

Thank you, "

walke the walk and done what has to be done. Book is only a suppliment to that.

matter. You become a shakta when shakti accepts you as such not because you

accepted her.I'm preparing to buy the books on your

practice, is there some books that can help be to attaint a daily

shaktism practice? I'm in Montreal, Canada, do you know a teacher

or maybe a center nearby? I would rather suggest that you find a gur and walk

small steps instead of trying leap off the Motrial TV Tower. Why not try to

contact Aiyya at NY? Maybe Devi-Bhakta can give you address.

Remember there is no instant tantra. It is a long hard haul.

-----You are a Shakta as you think you are just as for anything. I couldn't

not be a Shakta. Even though I am a Buddhist, that just confirms it, because

Shakti is Buddha. And Buddha is Shakti. For me.

 

But that's also because even in Buddhism of Dzogchen I am having Shakti as

technique and as my mandala. For simplicity let's just say Dakini, is Shakti

in feminine form as Pragjnaparamita.

 

So there you have it. You're a Shakta if you will it, I wouldn't say it's a

club to join or an aspiration to become as such. It's just as one is, or

not, as case may be.

 

Many people cannot tolerate the idea of divinity as feminine power. (And we

know who they are too - they run everything)

 

But when we are discussing Shakti we are discussing the circle, with the

ability to remain ever distant in seeking circumference, but somehow that

wholeness remains forever within. If one seeks the circle of wholeness

within one finds oneself identical to it already.This already well

understood as all mandalas do refer to our inner contents. The circles of

ten mandalas of Rig Veda are discussed as refering to the ten elements of

Samkya. The circle is our nature, its circumference never revealed though

viewable as our very self.

 

If Shaktism overtook all things there would be more fluidity to society.

People would be able to trade places more. Say, you are tired of cooking and

wish to work with wood, or tire of sitting in an office and want to teach

aerobics, Shaktism teaches one about flow with centeredness, as their life,

and not worshipping structures but instead freeing oneself of all

limitations. And recognizing that the Goddess of Time erases all ones

efforts. Better to reside 'as is' without reservation.
