The Devī Atharvaśīrṣa is a brief but powerful text that introduces the entire range of Vedic and Tantric practices in just 27 mantras. Included will be two entirely new and free publications on the text: for one an original translation of the text by Dr. Ravi S. Kudesia with commentaries by himself as well as Ācārya Dr. Sthaneshwar Timalsina. The second being an extensive commentary by Ācārya Maheshanandagiri Ji Maharaj, Pontiff of Shri Dakshinamurti Peetha in Varanasi, India. This course is entirely free and accessible to everyone.

Hey Kula, any of us who are in NYC want to get together for practice and social? I just moved and would love to engage with you guys in person!

I was unable to find the it on Facebook, but I did watch the replay on the website. It was wonderful. I kept thinking how amazing it would have been to be there in person to listen.
