Come Closer to the Divine Mother
There are moments when we feel the Divine Mother so close. In the stillness of meditation, in the beauty of nature, in the quiet moments when we feel her love and guidance. And there are times when we long to feel that connection more deeply, to experience her presence not just in our spiritual practice, but in the everyday moments of our lives.
Navaratri is a sacred invitation to come closer to her.
For ten days, we will gather in devotion to the Divine Mother, opening our hearts to her presence through powerful meditations, sacred practices, and energy transmissions. Each evening, we will come together as a spiritual family, creating a beautiful collective field of energy in which to receive her blessings and deepen our connection to her.
Our intention is simple: to bring the Divine Mother more fully into our lives.
We hope you can join us.
What is Navaratri?
Navaratri is the most powerful time of the year dedicated to the Divine Mother, observed over nine nights and ten days. It is a sacred time when we can receive the Mother’s blessings and grace more deeply into our lives.
At the heart of Navaratri is the story of Durga’s victory over Mahishasura, a powerful demon who had become so strong that no god could defeat him. The gods poured their divine light and power into one radiant being, Durga. Armed with their divine weapons, she fought Mahishasura for nine nights.
On the tenth day, she emerged victorious as Mahishasura Mardini, the destroyer of Mahishasura.
Her victory represents the triumph of divine consciousness over ignorance, darkness, and the forces that keep us from realizing our true nature. She is the fierce and loving Mother who protects us, removes obstacles, and awakens the Shakti within us.

Meet your Guides
Ramakrishna and Bhramari are the co-founders of the Paramashiva Center for Advanced Yogic Sciences and will be your guides through this transformative Navaratri program.
Ramakrishna spent 15 years in Penukonda, studying under the great yogic saint, Sri Kaleshwar. As one of Sri Kaleshwar’s senior-most students, he was entrusted with sharing the ancient knowledge he learned and establishing a healing power spot in the West.
For the past 8 years, Bhramari has been practicing this ancient wisdom alongside Ramakrishna. Their mission is to share Sri Kaleshwar’s vision to disseminate this once-hidden knowledge to all of humanity, with the aim of creating spiritual masters who can heal the world.
