Each year, Shambhavi chooses a theme for us to learn about, contemplate, practice with, and embody. Jaya Kula’s theme for 2024 is “healing.”

Trika Shaivism and Dzogchen are my home spiritual traditions. In these traditions, magic is fundamental to reality and mystical experience is what we humans call deeper contact with that reality.

Direct realization spiritual practice emphasizes the direct encounter. It de-emphasizes faith, trust and belief in favor of finding out about Reality firsthand for yourself.

We aspire to Self-realize. Ma shows us where we are going. Precisely because she is human, she demonstrates that realization is within human reach.
