Devi Culture Monthly Sessions

Welcome to Devi Culture!

Devi Culture is an opportunity to invoke and evoke our inner Divya Shakti. Together, our Devis have journeyed through the Vedanta underlying Jagadeesha Arati, popular movies, Devi Chalisa, 18 “ities” by Swami Sivananda , “Why do we…?,” The Mananam Series, and most recently, the lives of Rishikas.

This year, we are recommencing our weekly classes with Shashikalaji, who will be guiding us through Swami Chinmayananda’s Self Unfoldment. We will learn, actively discuss, and have dialogues with Shashikalaji so that we can find the inspiration to channel our fullest selves!

Devi Culture Seva Projects

• Teaching Math and English
  Each month, we send videos to teach Math and English to elementary school children in the Chidambaram Sevvur school in Tamil Nadu. We facilitate these recordings in Tamil, walking the children through the alphabet and numbers, with emphasis on learning with pictures and activities!
• Nutrition for young mothers
  Twice a month, we host sessions in collaboration with Payir, an organization dedicated to transforming villages into equitable communities. In these sessions, we facilitate discussions, sharing personal experiences and practical examples, on parenting and the importance of nutrition with young mothers in Tamil Nadu villages.

Divya Shakti Retreats
We began our Divya Shakti movement in 2013. This movement has led us through Washington DC, Chicago, Raleigh, Washington DC, Atlanta, Orlando, and London. Every year, thoughtful women from all over North America gather with Vilasiniji and Vivekji to understand roles and responsibilities to invoke Devi in a most meaningful and transformative way.

🌟 Immerse yourself in an exhilarating and reflective retreat under the guidance of Vilasiniji and Vivekji. We will inquire into the self and the world, exploring how the substratum of both is one and the same. Spots are limited, register today!
