Shakti Rising

Embracing Shadow and Light on the Goddess Path to Wholeness

De: Kavitha M. Chinnaiyan MD, Greg Goode - foreword

Narrado por: Leslie Howard

Winner of the 2017 Nautilus Gold Book Award!

The wisdom of the Mahavidyas, the 10 wisdom goddesses who represent the interconnected darkness and light within all of us, has been steeped in esoteric and mystical descriptions that made them seem irrelevant to ordinary life. But with this book, written by a respected cardiologist who found herself on a spiritual search for the highest truth, you're invited to explore this ancient knowledge and learn how it can be applied to daily struggles and triumphs-and how it can help you find unreserved self-love and acceptance.

Pulling from Eastern traditions including tantra and yoga, and focusing on the feminine principle of divine energy also known as Shakti, this book bridges the divide between dualistic concepts and non-dual philosophy. By exploring the symbolism of the Mahavidyas (Kali, Tara, Tripurasundari, Bhuvaneshwari, Tripura Bhairavi, Chinnamasta, Dhumavati, Baglamukhi, Matangi, and Kamalatmika) - each with a veiled face representing a destructive quality that perpetuates ignorance and suffering, and a true face representing the wisdom that stimulates profound transformation and liberation - you'll learn to embrace and incorporate every aspect of who you are.

amazing

amazing, very detailed, super easy to follow and brought a new perspective to goddess I was already working with. thank you many blessings 🙏

A vital read

Listening again; consumed it in 24 hours - need to listen again, I’m purchasing the hard copy for deeper study and application for it to properly metabolize and crystallize. So so so much wisdom goodness here. Wahe Guru I can feel the shift already. Grateful.

Roadmap to grace

Methodical steps to live in the world and realize our true nature. Though the audio was cutting out some words, it caused me to pay closer attention and rewind when necessary. Ability to mark specific clips was very useful.

Clear, concise, well spoken.

loved it from start to finish. You will be hard pressed to find a better explanation of Tantra in English.

A must add to your library

This book is beautifully written. The authors prose is quite lovely . These gods are a delight to learn more about and re affirm earlier studies . I will definitely be purchasing the print addition to have .

Loved this book

This is a wonderful book that I recommend that everyone read if they are the least bit curious about India’s religious history

Great balance of myth and pointers, Tantra and Advaita

Great compile by Kavitha with an insightful foreword from Greg Goode. Breathes fresh air into practice. Felt like listening to Christopher Di Wallis’ Radiant Sutras on the distaff side of Tantra.

Wonderful introduction to Shakti work

This is a delightful and contemplative read for the beginner or advanced seeker. There are practical assignments and advices included in this book.

EXCELLENT

I will listen to and read this excellent book frequently in the future.
As I so often do, I buy the printed book to go along with the audiobook.
I this case I am happy I did.
I learned so much.
The choice of a female voice, in this case Leslie Howard, is the only way to go.
She has a beautiful voice, all the way through.
I will look for more books in this genre, narrated by her.
My thanks to all involved, JK.

Bought the hard copy

I listened to the sample and liked the reader at first, but after a while I realized she never really seemed to be coming from a genuine place. Her voice became sickly sweet. Kept trying because I loved the book, but eventually gave up and bought the hard copy. It's worth it.
