This month, The Power of Durga
+ 9 Nights of Shakti
There are seasons where what we need most is to remember that we are not moving through life alone.
To feel held by something greater than ourselves. To deepen our trust in the Divine. To remember the strength, protection and unwavering love of the Mother — and to awaken that same power within ourselves.
This month inside Sādhana Club, we turn towards Durgā, the great Mother and protective power of Śakti.
And there could be no more potent time to devote ourselves to Her.
This month carries us through Navarātri; the sacred nine nights of the Goddess. A time traditionally devoted to honouring the many forms and powers of Devī, and particularly to the victorious, protective and transformative Śakti embodied by Durgā.
So for this special month, there are two ways to practise; and you are welcome to choose one or immerse yourself in both.
Throughout the month, our foundational practice will be a daily Durgā Gāyatrī mantra sādhana, inviting you into a deeper relationship with Durgā as Mother: Her strength, protection, fierce grace and unwavering love.
Then, during Navarātri, you’ll also have the option to journey through a special 9 Nights of Shakti Sādhana, meeting a different quality of Devi each day and exploring the distinct energies & teachings each reveals.
You may work with Durgā’s mantra for the entire month and add the Navarātri practices during the sacred nine nights. You may join us solely for the Navarātri journey. Or you may keep your practice beautifully simple and devote yourself only to Durgā’s mantra. The choice is yours.
Because Durgā is not only the fierce warrior Goddess we call upon to overcome difficulty. She is Mother, the one we turn towards for guidance, protection and reassurance; the presence into which we can surrender when we are tired of carrying everything ourselves.
Through devotion to Her, we remember that true power does not always come from pushing harder. Sometimes it comes through surrender, trust and allowing ourselves to be held by the Divine.
This month is an invitation to know both.
To cultivate the strength to stand fiercely in your life, while deepening your capacity to surrender. To call the Mother closer. To receive Her protection around you, awaken Her power within you, and remember that the Śakti you seek is already moving within you and all around you.
Devoted. Protected. Powerful. Held.
