Tantric Goddess Flow

In Hindu Tantric texts, the Ten Mahavidyas are a group of goddesses which represent different forms of the female reality, Mahadevi, the Great Goddess.

The Great Goddess assumes different forms at different times in human history to maintain cosmic stability. Some texts say wherever a female being exists, there the goddess reveals herself, being present in every female form.

To some extent, the Mahavidyas mirror the Ten Avatars of Vishnu, except where Vishnu’s forms tend towards the historically or culturally acceptable, positing Vishnu as the Great Preserver, the Mahavidyas are often shocking, uber powerful, embodying occult or taboo practices thus subverting the ‘norm’, placing feminine Shakti energy as unpredictable, chaotic, the true essence of freedom of expression.

Embracing Mahadevi energy and honouring these goddesses with focused tantric yoga practice can help us explore the darker, more powerful aspects of ourselves and our link to source, Shakti or Ishvara.
