Guest guest Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Hi Linda: I know. That's what I wanted to name it too, something with Devi in the name, but I was afraid that that might be too religious for some people. In our yoga training program, we were taught not to hit people in the face with concepts such as Divine Mother and Lord Shiva, since these concepts may not be in line with the students'own beliefs. But, I really wanted Devi in the name, just as you suggest, and especially because I want Ma Devi's blessings in this endeavor.
