TANTRIK NAVĀRATRI
Every Fall & Spring
Online & In-Person
With the blessings of the Shivoham Tantrik lineage, join the Anuttara Sangha in celebration, honour and reverence of the Goddess! This festival is a deeply supportive and powerful time to plunge into the heart of Tantra, and truly experience the essence of Shakti through dedicated and devoted practice.
JOIN US
Many know Navarātri as a 9 night festival dedicated to the Goddess Durga. This is the traditional way to celebrate this Auspicious time in Hinduism. However, for Tantrika-s there are actually 4 Navarātri's per year with the two most important being in Spring and in Fall.
In Tantra, the Navarātri festival is an auspicious time to celebrate one of the Das Mahā Vidyā-s, the ten great Wisdom Goddesses. We are blessed to share this festival with the guidance & support of Guruji Raj Kumar of the Shivoham Lineage.
Each season we work with a different Goddess. This Goddess is not chosen at random but is revealed to Guruji as the festival approaches. The Goddess that we will work with has the precise energy that needs to manifest on earth to benefit the global community.

Mantra is an incredibly powerful tool that can help us to create positive change in our lives. It is a set of words or phrases that are repeated to aid in focus, concentration, and meditation. Mantras can be used to help us to manifest our desired outcomes, to help us to relax and find inner peace, and to help us to stay in touch with our higher selves.
