What is Navaratri? Why do we celebrate 9 nights of the divine Shakti energy?
Ancient Vedic culture and civilization have bequeathed humanity with tremendous gifts of knowledge, namely: Ayurveda – the science of total health; Jyotish – the mathematical science of prediction; as well as so many other branches of eternal knowledge that do not get recalled as modern science is prone to (!) – as Vaidya Mishra would remind us… One such great body of knowledge is an ancient practice that is tied to the flow of time and specifically to the shift of the seasons in the year, and the subtle vibrational energies at play in the universe. The energies of shiva and shakti…
This ancient practice is an annual ritual acknowledging the feminine energy, or Shakti, that is a foundational aspect of Nature and of our lives. The experience of remembering Shakti during the Fall season and performing specific rituals at specific times, is accompanied by a story, a very very old story… It is told that long long ago, Shakti or the dynamic energy of Nature was called upon to manifest in order to combat negative or a-sura (dis-harmonious) entities that were impeding harmonious life and thwarting blissful evolution. The story goes like this….
In this course you will learn the origins of Shakti Devi – how she came to be at the behest of the devatas – the organizing powers of the cosmos – in order to combat the counter-evolutionary disharmonious forces or a-suras. Read all about how Vaidya Mishra was initiated into the Shakti tradition. In addition: you will also learn how Shakti Devi resides within each and every one of us as a vibrational frequency and how she can be invoked and enlivened. Vaidya Mishra taught a beautiful sutra and you will learn it directly from him – through a recording. In addition, we will hold a live session where we will recite the sutra together, and share the stories, and interact.

After many years of practicing and studying Ayurveda and Vedic Sciences (since 1977) and spending literally thousands of hours in deep silent meditation, I want to pass on the lifelong benefits that my teachers, Vaidya Mishra and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi have given to me before it’s too late. The study and practice of Ayurveda has been like a lifelong best friend, supporting me and giving me a stable framework no matter what is happening in my environment and internal life. I feel now is a perfect time to share this ancient wisdom because there is so much uncertainty in the world these days – politically, environmentally and with worldwide pandemics. What better time to befriend and instill an ancient knowledge to prevent illness, develop an enlightened consciousness, and at the same time be able to better help our family, friends, and the community.
The curriculum that I am sharing is really the nectar and juice of everything that I have learned over the past 40 years, it’s beyond vata, pitta, and kapha - I am offering knowledge and Vedic practices that awaken the healing power of prana and cultivate the nervous system so that you will be able to realize the intelligence of your true unbounded nature and experience more peace and stability in your life even during the most chaotic and challenging times that we are currently in. Studying Ayurveda at this time in history will allow to you grab onto that which is everlasting in the midst of changing transitions we are all experiencing.
Studying Ayurveda can resonate with your being and relieve great fear and anxiety and well as deepen perception of the unity and wholeness of life. There’s an ancient verse from the Bhagavad Gita, that says; Even a little of this knowledge relieves mankind from great fear. The nine months of study of Ayurveda and Jyotish (Vedic Astrology as an extended option) will birth a greater sense of steadiness, refined awareness, and greater well-being as well as give you skills to teach and coach others. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or want to sign up call or text 847 636 2744, rose.carol.zivin@gmail.com or and check out the curriculum at https://ayurvedalearningcenter.com/curriculum-details
