Shakti - The Divine Energy | Sri M

We conclude the Dassara series of 2022, with a satsang, "Shakti - Energy as the Divine Feminine - An Ancient Indian Concept". Sri M dwells upon the concepts of Parashakti as the divine feminine energy and what ensues when this energy is awakened within us.

This satsang took place in Geneva on 22nd Sep 2022.

00:00 – Prayer & Introduction
00:44 – Parashakti as the Feminine energy – The Dasha Mahavidyas - Kali
03:50 – Shantha devathas – Raja Rajeshwari, Tripurasundari – Devi of Sri Vidya Upasana in Tantra
06:47 – Darshanas – helping to tap the divine energy within
09:21 – Awakening the divine energy, the Parashakti within
13:06 – What happens when the divine energy (kundalini) is awakened?
16:54 – The journey forward
19:16 – Effects of Beejaksharas
20:47 – Q&A begins – Q1 – In Sankhya darshana they refer to Purusha and Prakriti. How is Prakriti different from Purusha? If Prakriti is all that is material, then does it mean that Purusha is emptiness?
23:48 – Q2 - Can you speak briefly about Durga Puja and Navaratri?
26:10 – Q3 - Can you speak about the significance of the 68 yoginis who are worshipped?
28:09 – Q4 – Can you say something about the Saptha Matrikas and their temples?
30:17 – Q5 - There are different schools of thought which have varied ideas about what is divinity. But neither can prove their divinity unless it is experienced. So what do we do under these circumstances?
32:35 – Q6 - Since the Shakti is a feminine energy, is it easier for women to realise it?
35:18 – Q7 - There seem to be more male yogis than female yoginis. Why is that?
43:17 – Q8 – You spoke about Beeja mantras earlier. Is it easier for one to chant any Beeja mantra or is it better to chant the Gayatri mantra? Is any preparation or initiation required for beeja mantras?
47:15 – Q9 – From the physical point of view, the matter that is visible to us is very minimal compared to matter which is invisible. Does it have something to do with Akasha? What is it’s relation with energy?
48:57 – Q10 - Ancestors in ancient times in India seemed to be moving around in 'Vimanas' (aerial vehicles). How did they manage this?
52:47 – Q11 – I have not been initiated into any kriya or Sri Vidya practices. Now with Navaratra coming, can you let me know about any simple practice that I can follow?
54:07 – Q12 - How do we identify an appropriate deity for ourselves?
54:48 – Q13 - If you have given some mantra in a group and we chant that, will it be helpful?
55:42 – Q14 – We live so far away from India and we are raising our children here. What can we do to make them understand our culture and spirituality?

Ads interruptions every 3 minutes make it very difficult to follow Sri M’s words…
