"The 9 Nights (of the Goddess) is about special astronomical configurations. Why do I care about astronomy? Because astronomical positioning influences your brain- cluttered, unclear, vague ideas are demonic manifestations. The Goddess kills these demons and brings you clarity, success and prosperity. If you miss these 9 days, you will have to wait for another year."
The ancient Sanskrit text dedicated to the Supreme Goddess, called ‘Shrimad Devi Bhagvatam', considers Her greater than the Trinity (archetypes Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva). Navaratri, the Nine Nights of the Goddess, is the power time when Goddesses descend to the Earth plane in different forms each night. The tenth day of Vijaya Dasami celebrations culminates in her victory over dark forces. Navaratri is a very important time to participate in powerful ceremonies because the Goddess, the divine feminine archetypal energy that is behind success and manifestation, is available in abundance. You can benefit by inviting the Goddess in her various forms into your life to change your consciousness and become powerful enough to manifest your desires.
According to sacred texts, the Supreme Goddess assumed ten powerful and unique forms, ranging from dreadful to ravishingly beautiful, to make Shiva aware of the esoteric prowess of the divine feminine energy. The Dasa Maha Vidya Fire Lab (10 Great Wisdom Goddesses Fire Lab) is among the most effective ceremonies to invoke the great transformative energies of the ten manifestations of the Supreme Mother.
During the nine nights of Navaratri, will perform this grand fire ceremony webcasted LIVE from AstroVed's Ganesha Vortex for the Golden Age - our four expert Vedic priests will invoke each of these ten Goddesses individually to activate their energy on the earth plane and empower you.
The Devi Bhagavata Purana, a sacred Vedic text, mentions that all Maha Vidyas (10 Great Wisdom Goddesses) are intrinsically connected to each other but each exhibits a distinct aspect of divinity and can confer unique powers.
"Power and energy are not masculine, but feminine. This is the greatest finding of the Yogis of India. Beauty, expansion, fertility, joy, abundance – all these are the qualities of the feminine. Female energy is the most powerful energy. It is only available during certain configurations of celestial timing. Yogis eagerly watch for this time to be in harmony with the power of the Mother Goddess."
Dr. Pillai says that it is the Goddess who is going to be prominent in the Golden Age. Inviting the Goddess energy into us removes our pain and suffering and restores love and prosperity in us.
1. Kali- The first and foremost of the 10 Great Wisdom Goddesses
is Goddess Kali, the female form of Kala (time). She is the dominating energy that

over all stages of life. She rules our inner consciousness and demolishes the challenges
and limitations we face in our lives. Kali controls the effects of planet Saturn.

us beyond the turbulent waves of negative feelings. This Goddess of yogic asceticism
can bless us with intuitive powers. Tara controls the effects of planet Jupiter.

5. Bhairavi - She is the warrior Goddess, the terrifying epitome
of power and feminine energy, shining with the radiance of ten thousand rising Suns.

illusions and the limitations of egoistic existence. As the destroyer of opposition,
she is invoked for removing obstacles and for protection from black magic and evil
eye. Bhairavi controls the Lagna (Ascendant) in one’s Vedic birth chart.
6. Chinnamasta – Depicted as the most horrific of the ten forms,

the egoless state. She symbolizes freedom from the limitations of the mind so that
one can have access to universal consciousness. She confers the power of writing
and oratory skills, which is especially required for saints, astrologers and people
dealing with the occult subjects. Chinnamasta controls the effects of planet

afflictions due to planet Mars.

Mana, which is the mind. Thus Matangi is the Goddess power that enables powerful
