Das Mahavidyas - The 10 Tantric Goddesses of Wisdom
Within yogic mysticism and Tantra, the Das Mahavidyas display the scope of the divine feminine in many powerful ways. These Goddesses of wisdom, the ten Mahavidyas, each represents distinct aspects of the personality, wisdom and truth of the divine feminine, whose primary intention is to guide the sincere spiritual seeker towards Moksha - liberation.
The Emergence of Devi Within Tantra Through the Ashta Matrikas
There was once a classic battle between good and evil, from which the ancient Tantric Sapta Matrika goddess mothers emerged victorious. It represents the ageless conflict between the forces of darkness and the towering motive within us that yearns for the highest light of truth.
Internally, the battle reflects the soul’s struggle to be free from karma, maya, and the limitations of human ego. Triumph over these limiting influences, and deliverance from illusions of identity with the external self, is the greatest achievement that a soul can make on the journey to full awareness.
