Great read for all yoga teachers! Oct 13, Julie rated it really liked it. My thinkgirl. The majority of the book consists of illuminating biograp My thinkgirl. The majority of the book consists of illuminating biographies of women in yoga. In the same spirit, German-born Canadian Swami Sivananda Radha became the first Western woman to be initiated into the guru tradition. Feminists may find the stories of women overcoming their disempowerment the most compelling. Donna Farhi faced anorexia; Angela Farmer, childhood sexual abuse; and Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa, a disempowering birth and infant loss, among other stories. Each woman has become a teacher who contributes to women uniting their minds and bodies in celebration of peace, health, empowerment, and enlightenment. Nov 23, Ripa Ajmera rated it really liked it. I like this book because it tells the history of women in the yoga tradition, which stems from a strongly patriarchal society. This society, however, a very long time ago, revered women. Years of conditioning have led away from this and Yogini: Women Visionaries of the Yoga World stories of the Yogini: Women Visionaries of the Yoga World yoga teachers depicted in this book offer hope for younger generations of women. Using yoga as their platform, they teach a powerful message of self-respect, internal empowerment and embodying peace in all realms of life. Mar 28, Sonia Crites rated it it was amazing.

Union | Heart of Yogini - Shakti Prana Flow for Women at Samudra Global School for Living Yoga She assumes various forms and takes on different divine energies to maintain harmony in the Universe, to combat evil Yogini: Women Visionaries of the Yoga World uphold the good. A woman who gains a transcendental state in sadhana comes back as a celestial Yogini or Bhairavi, a female adept at Yoga. She carries the energy of Durga within her. A true Yogini is an enlightened woman with exuberant passion, spiritual powers and deep insight. Yoginis communicate a sense of freedom, a sheer mastery in Yogini: Women Visionaries of the Yoga World they do. With their compelling gazes, they Yogini: Women Visionaries of the Yoga World hypnotize even a great yogi and are capable of changing their shapes at will. Tantric scholars have written about Yoginis as independent, outspoken, forthright women with a gracefulness of spirit. Without them, yoga can fail in its purpose and remain sterile. Shakta texts honor both women and the Earth alike as sources of energy, vitality, physical and spiritual well-being. In Hindu thought, the Yogini represents the Yoga Shakti herself, the Yogini: Women Visionaries of the Yoga World, as well as the resident powers or female deities of the different chakras. The Yogini possesses the power of Yoga herself and can awaken that in others, not only generally but at any point or place in the body or mind. Just as a Goddess blesses and benefits her devotees, and the Shakti vivifies all biological, cultural, and religious practices, so a woman can channel this life force or spiritual energy to her consort-devotee. A woman is no more depleted by providing this spiritual nourishment than a mother by nursing her child. In fact, it causes deeper energies to well up from within her. This spiritual energy is not something that a man can extract or take from a Yogini at will. She chooses when and on whom to bestow her blessings. This relationship parallels human-divine relationships in so far as the deity is the benefactor and the human devotee is the beneficiary. Although the Deity may derive some Yogini: Women Visionaries of the Yoga World from the relationship, the devotee has much more to gain than does the sovereign object of his devotion.

    Praise for The Secret Power of Yoga “This sweetly voiced explication of the Yoga Sutras is disarming in its simplicity, charming and inviting the reader into the happiness of realizing that she/he is actually a manifestation of the Divine. I read it smiling all the way, and learning yoga philosophy as I was doing it.” —SYLVIA BOORSTEIN, author of Pay Attention, for Goodness’ Sake: The Buddhist Path of Kindness “Nischala Joy Devi has provided a dynamic new interpretation of the Yoga Sutras, one of the most important but esoteric guidebooks to deeper Yoga practice, that will make this wonderful ancient teaching accessible to modern readers and useful in their daily life. She has explained the essence of Yoga in a simple, direct, and relevant manner for all sincere students of the spiritual path.” —DAVID FRAWLEY (VAMADEVA SHASTRI), author of Yoga and Ayurveda “Weaving together her deep knowledge of the Yoga Sutras with her many years of teaching and studying, Nischala Devi has created a very readable and insightful book. Her words ring with the authenticity of a committed practitioner, and the exercises she oers the reader can be truly life changing. But I must admit, I loved her funny and inspiring stories the best! A book to be read again and again.” —JUDITH HANSON LASATER, PH.D., P.T., yoga teacher since 1971 and author of six books, including A Year of Living Your Yoga “Nischala Devi has given us a fresh and compelling new look into the mysteries of one of yoga’s most important scriptures.

  • Mythologies of the Indian Goddess in Sex
    Vol-6 Issue-5 2020 IJARIIE-ISSN(O)-2395-4396 Matrix—Copulating and Childless: Mythologies of the Indian Goddess in Sex Suwanee Goswami* and Dr. Eric Soreng** *Research Scholar Department of Psychology University of Delhi Delhi **Assistant Professor Department of Psychology University of Delhi Delhi ABSTRACT The paper on Matrix is a Jungian oriented mythological research on the Indian Goddess. ‘Goddess in sex’ means that She is fertile and in copulation but Her womb—Matrix—never bears fruits. Her copulation does not consummate in conception because the gods prevent it. She is married and as wife copulates to conceive, but only becomes Kumari-Mata, the Virgin Mother, in Her various manifestations and beget offspring parthenogenetically. She embodies not only maternal love but also encompass intense sexual passion as well as profound spiritual devotion; Her fertility fructifying into ascetical and spiritual wisdom. Such is the mythological series of Goddess Parvati. Her mythologies are recollected and rearranged to form a structural whole for reflection and interpretation wherever possible. The paper consummates with the mythic images of the primacy of the Sacred Feminine in India. Key Words: Matrix, Goddess Parvati, Goddess Kali Carl Jung (1981) defines the Matrix as “the form into which all experience is poured”. He conceptualized the Collective Unconscious as the mother, the source of psychic life and all the manifestations of the psyche. In the lifespan development overcoming the impediments in the world outside that obstructs man’s ascent liberates him from the mother and that leaves in him an eternal thirst which makes him return back to drink renewal from the source of psychic energy and life.
