About this listen

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.

This book easily makes it to the no. 1 spot in my spiritual library . I came upon it post ‘Awakening Shakti’ that has been dethroned by ‘Shakti Rising.’
Which is only to say that ‘Awakening Shakti’ is phenomenal in its own right . I want to thank Kavitha Chinnaiyan for this beautiful and intimate memoir on the Das Mahavidyas. I’m grateful to Shakti in all its forms for leading me here so that I could embrace her within my own self.

I can’t wait to see what unravels within me as I get acquainted with each Mahavidya in my Saadhana of them. As they say, ‘ when the student is ready, the teacher appears.’

This book is everything and more!
