Weekly Devi Culture classes
Why I love Devi Culture? Because it is uplifting and encouraging. We evolve in satsanga, and the positivity of satsanga stays with us even outside of satsanga to help us make the right choices.
– Anuradha Pajjur (Washington, DC)
Guided by Vivekji, our Devi Culture Classes are an opportunity to evoke Divya Shakti in our inner and outer environment. Laughing and reflecting together, we’ve studied the Vedanta underlying the Jagadeesha Arati, popular movies, Devi Chalisa, 18 “ities” by Swami Sivananda , “Why do we…?” and most recently “Getting out of the box” from the mananam series and Rishikas.
Join us Weekly – Every Friday from Jan 19 2024 for Satsangas. Shashikalaji is guiding us through Sw. Chinmayananda’s Self Unfoldment. We will learn, participate in discussions actively and have dialogues with Shashikalaji.
Devi Sanga 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.
Dial-a-Devi is a way for Devis to connect with each other. Please fill out your information in this form to help us create a spreadsheet of the Devis in our CommUnity! You can list any of your skills or talents, and Devis can contact each other if needed (e.g. if one Devi needs advice on making a special cake, they can contact another Devi who may be experienced in baking). Additionally, Devis can view each other’s city-state in case they want to meet up if they are ever in the same area!
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.
I love the Divya Shakti Retreats because they create a loving and safe space to commune with Devis on the path of self-discovery where we learn from each other, share stories and discuss ways to resolve some of our challenges. Most of all, it helps me get back in touch with my own divinity and get recharged.

This year we had an amazing schedule to engage, energize and discover our inner Devi in Chicago!
