Veda Talk: The 9 Powers of the Devi with Ananta

In honor of Navratri, this “enlightening conversation” is with Ananta Ripa Ajmera, author of The Ayurveda Way and an upcoming book, The Nine Powers of Durga, who takes us through the nine Shaktis of Durga to learn how they can support us in our modern lives.

*Durga is the embodiment of the fierce love of a mother. Durga is courage and transformative power in all her manifestations as the divine feminine. Durga is the force that sustains life, and opens the path to our higher self (by first slaying the demons of ego, delusion, doubt, and sloth).
